University of New England is doing something pretty wonderful for qualified students! 

According to WGME, they have announced they are now offering scholarships for high-achieving students from families that earn under $100,000 a year.

OK, this is such an incredible opportunity because there are so many hardworking, brilliant students and young people out there whose families earn below the median income of $100,000 a year.

Programs like this will give them a chance to shine and reach their full potential without the financial burden holding them back. And as a mother, money should be the last thing any student has to worry about when going after their educational dreams.

Starting in the fall of 2025, as per the report, the university will cover tuition costs for high school graduates who qualify from families earning less than $100,000 annually. This program also applies to students from all over the states, not just Maine. They want to attract top talent to Maine.

UNE President James Herbert talked about the significance of this decision, saying that Maine and New England have to strengthen their workforce to meet growing demands in business, bioscience, life sciences, and address shortages in healthcare and hospitality, according to WGME.

Here is how you can get free tuition to UNE:

  • You need to be a student
  • Maintain a high GPA in high school
  • Show significant financial need as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
  • Enroll full-time at UNE and reside on campus for all four years of their undergraduate program

This is making it possible for even more students to access a high-quality education without the burden of high tuition costs.
