The University of Maine Office of Student Financial Aid administers a variety of scholarships.  In some cases, the donor of a scholarship fund will specify certain selective criteria the recipient of the scholarship must meet. We have created a listing of these scholarships and we invite eligible students to apply.

 Each scholarship has specific guidelines established by the donor.  Completion of the application form only certifies that you will be considered for the scholarship. Receipt of a scholarship will depend on the amount of money available and the number of qualified students who apply.  Be sure to read the description carefully and follow the application instructions. Generally, these scholarships fall into one of several categories:  

• Scholarships for residents of a particular town, county or state

• Scholarships for graduates of a specific high school

• Scholarships for descendants of a particular family

• Scholarships for descendants of University of Maine alumni

• Scholarships for children of union members or company employees

• Other miscellaneous scholarships

You will be considered for a scholarship automatically after the first year you have received it if you continue to meet the eligibility requirements and funds are available. You do not need to fill out the Scholarship Application Form each year, but you do need to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year if financial need is a scholarship criteria.  Look for this symbol * by the scholarship’s title.  

For a selective scholarship application, print one here or contact the Office of Student Financial Aid.

 Scholarship awards are determined during the summer and fall for the academic year.  Scholarships are restricted to undergraduates unless otherwise noted.

To request an application for a restricted scholarship, contact the Office of Student Financial Aid or print one yourself.
