FREE COLLEGE FACTS

WHO is eligible? If you graduated high school (or earned the equivalent of a high school diploma) in 2020, 2021, 2022, or 2023 – you’re eligible. There are no income or age limits. Just enroll full time in a degree or certificate program, live in Maine while enrolled, and accept any state or federal aid you qualify for. That’s it!

WHAT does it cover? This scholarship pays for up to two years of tuition and mandatory fees, after federal and state grant aid has been applied.

HOW do I sign up? Just apply to one of Maine’s seven community colleges! We’ll assign you an advisor who will work with you to complete your financial aid application (aka the FAFSA) and pick out a program and classes. We can do it over the phone, on Zoom, or in person. If you are already enrolled at a community college, the scholarship is automatic – you don’t need to fill out any extra paperwork!

Where can I study?

In addition to our seven colleges and four off-campus centers, Maine’s community colleges offer courses online and at other locations around the state. Check with each college for information about off-campus sites in your area, or visit mccs.me.edu/our-colleges.
