Financial Aid & Costs
Keeping Your Goals in Reach
We’re committed to ensuring a UMF education is accessible to everyone, no matter their financial status. That’s why we award financial aid to nearly every one of our students, with much of that in the form of scholarships and grants. We look forward to helping you achieve your goal of attending college.

As part of our UMF Tuition Pledge, in-state students who meet certain eligibility requirements pay no tuition or fees for up to 15 credits per semester.
Scholarships, grants, and work-study — all money you don’t pay back — make up a large portion of UMF’s average financial aid award.
That’s the potential scholarship amount over four years for Maine residents. The amount is even higher for out-of-state students.
