USM Financial Aid

Students admitted to a master's degree program at the University are eligible to apply for financial aid from a variety of sources. The Student Financial Aid Office administers loans and employment programs for financially qualified students. Maine lending institutions offer eligible students low interest student loans. Some employers offer assistance in the form of tuition reimbursement, flexible scheduling, or paid educational sabbaticals. Scholarship assistance may also be available from organizations, clubs, or religious groups of which the student or his or her family is a member. The University is also approved by the Veterans Administration for payment of veteran's benefits. For more information please visit the USM Student Financial Aid web site.
