Interest-free loans are awarded to students pursuing undergraduate, graduate and professional school degrees who qualify based on financial need and academic performance. Students are eligible for up to $10,000 in assistance for post-secondary education. New loans of $104,625 were awarded to 40 students in the fiscal year ending june 30, 2024. Central scholarship (cs) also managed existing loans of approximately $1,465,000 for more than 375 students

Cs's student awards ceremony recognizes scholarship recipients for the current year. Past recipients who have graduated are invited to apply for the loan paydown award, which provides one randomly drawn student up to $30,000 for undergraduate student debt relief (not including loans from cs).

College cash is a financial education series offered as a free public service that helps students and parents navigate the complex financial options available to college-bound students. The goal is to ensure students and parents make informed economic choices when selecting a college. The advocacy program continues to focus on scholarship award displacement, which happens when colleges reduce their institutional scholarship after a student receives a private scholarship. Maryland was the first state to ban scholarship displacement for all maryland system colleges in 2017. Cs also has signed agreements with 13 private colleges in maryland that agreed not to displace private scholarships issued by central scholarship.
