Office of Student Financial Aid
Welcome to the
University of Maine Office of Student Financial Aid!
The Student Financial Aid Office
administers various federal, state and university aid programs to
help University of Maine students finance their education. We
award and process financial aid for University of Maine
students and advise students and their families, the campus community,
and the general public on issues related to financial aid.
Attention Scholarship Applicants under the Age of 18
The Maine legislature
passed a law in June 2009 that bans collecting personal information from
Maine residents under the age of 18. This has the unintended
consequence of preventing many Maine high school students and college
freshmen from registering on free scholarship matching web sites. The
Maine legislature will be reconsidering this legislation in early 2010.
One resource currently available to search for Maine-specific
scholarships is
