McDaniel is committed to access and affordability and the college has partnered since 2008 with the CollegeBound Foundation to provide full-tuition scholarships to Baltimore City high school students. Over the years, more than 60 CollegeBound Foundation Scholars have been awarded scholarships from McDaniel, covering full tuition for all four years of their undergraduate education.
