Dear Applicant,

Thank you for your interest in the Onward Program. For more than 30 years, we have provided motivated men and women the opportunity to obtain a four-year degree at the University of Maine. The Onward Program offers small developmental college classes, peer tutoring, and counseling support in a positive academic environment that has enabled hundreds of people to achieve their goals. To be considered for our fall class, please complete the written application materials enclosed.

You will find a brochure that explains more about the Onward Program, a brief description of the Onward application process, and the Onward Application Checklist. We need to have received a complete application package before we schedule you for placement testing.

If you have any questions about the application process or about the Onward Program itself, please do not hesitate to contact us at 207.581.2320 (V) or 207.581.2325 (TTY). You can also arrange an appointment to come in and meet some of our staff and students. We would welcome the chance to talk with you in person about Onward and your specific needs and interests.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best wishes,

Alan Parks
Director
