| Plan | Apply by | Decision | Binding |
|---|---|---|---|
| Priority application | December 1 | not published | No |
| Application | April 1 | not published | No |
Documents are due April 30. Applying by December 1 gives first-time, full-time freshmen the best consideration for the Troy E. Quinn Award (up to $6,000 a year); later applicants are considered if funding remains.

Testing
For students applying in fall 2026, entering fall 2027
Morgan State is test-optional: you may send official SAT or ACT scores, or apply without them and show a strong academic record instead (course rigor, grades, GPA and grade trends). Applying test-optional does not help or hurt your admission, and test-optional students can still be considered for merit scholarships and the Clara I. Adams Honors College.

Cost, and what families paid after aid

| Total | $8,466 | $19,796 |
