Coppin State University gets our name from our beloved namesake, Fanny Jackson Coppin. She was a pioneer who rose through slavery to transform her life through education. She transformed her life so she could transform the lives of others. Students selected for this prestigious scholarship are expected to follow in her legacy through academic excellence, campus engagement, and community service.

Scholars currently enrolled who started before 2025 are subject to the following conditions of the Fanny Jackson Coppin Scholarship: The Fanny Jackson Coppin Scholarship is a four-year, renewable scholarship covering tuition, room, board, and up to $1000/year in books. To qualify, a potential Scholar must be a current high school senior with a weighted high school cumulative grade point average of 3.3 or above. The test score requirements are an SAT score of 1140 or an ACT composite score of 23*. A potential Scholar must be a US citizen or a US permanent resident.

The scholarship is renewable provided the Scholar completes thirty (30) credit hours during the freshman year, enrolls in the Academic Excellence track via the Honors Program or the Leadership Excellence track, and maintains a cumulative 3.2 grade point average.

Scholars will select an Excellence track during summer orientation. Be sure to visit their webpages to learn more about each track.

Please contact the Office of Admissions for more details at 410.951.3610 or email [email protected].

*CSU is currently offering test optional admission. Other factors including submission of resumes and letters of recommendation may be considered in lieu of SAT and/or ACT scores.

More Than Room and Board

People commonly use the term room and board to describe the dormitories and meal plans students use when living on a college or university campus. Put another way—when you think of room and board think of campus housing and dining. Residential life at Coppin is more than a place to sleep at night. Our residential experience is an opportunity to build lasting friendships and relationships on a safe and welcoming campus. Ours is a campus where you can study, sleep, and relax with all the modern conveniences of urban living.

For dining, look no further than our Talon Center, home to student dining, full-service kitchen, meeting rooms, and a convenience store. We offer a variety of campus meal plans where students can depend on regular meals in several of our campus locations.

We work hard to craft menus, meals, as well as residential, and extracurricular experiences that speak to our university mission to support the whole person, and not just academic or professional development. We consider it our highest priority to care for, and encourage health and well-being for everyone within our Coppin community, including students, faculty, and staff. 

Welcome to the Parents and Family Housing page at Coppin State University!

We hope this page is a helpful resource for some of your questions about our residential and campus community. If you have any additional questions or would like to speak to someone, please call or email us!
