Paying for school can feel like a big challenge, but there are many scholarships and grants available to help. The Maine Community Foundation offers hundreds of scholarships every year for Maine residents. These awards support all kinds of learners — high school graduates, adults returning to school, and students in job training or career programs.

Scholarships can help cover tuition, books, supplies, and other costs, and some are designed just for students in certain towns, fields of study, or training programs. You only need to fill out one online application to be considered for many different opportunities.

We encourage all of our students to apply — it’s free, and you may qualify for support that makes your education more affordable.
