Admission,
continued.Paying for a UMaine Education
UMaine makes a conscious effort to keep costs at a reasonable
level. It is committed to providing financial assistance to
qualified students through a combination of scholarships, grants,
student employment and loans. All applicants are encouraged to
complete the Free Application for Federal Student Financial Aid (FAFSA).
The online version is preferred. The 2007–08 FAFSA should
be completed as soon after January 1, 2008 as possible and before
February 15 to ensure that the information is received by the
Federal Student Aid Processing Center before March 1. Students
whose FAFSA information is received at the Federal Processing
Center later than March 1 will be given awards on a
funds-available basis, which may negatively affect the amount of
their award. Students applying for spring 2008 should complete the
2007–08 FAFSA form. UMaine's code is 002053.

 Scholarships
UMaine has scholarship programs designed to encourage
academically
talented and diverse students to attend the university.
The Office of Admission awards
approximately $1 million in merit scholarships for new
students, based on a combination of the rigor of their high school
program, their high school performance and standardized test
scores (or cumulative grade point average for transfer students).
All first-time students accepted during the Early Action admission
process will be given priority consideration for merit
scholarships awarded by the admission office. Students accepted
during the regular rolling admission process will be considered on
a funds-available basis. Scholarship amounts vary from $1,000 to
full tuition.
Some colleges and academic
departments at UMaine have their own scholarship programs. These
may require a special application, an audition or a portfolio
review.
Restricted scholarships are the
gifts of alumni and friends of the university and often have
specific criteria relating to students from a town or high school,
in a specific major or associated with a family or a company. They
may be either need or merit based, or both.
