USM offers a wide variety of scholarships to deserving students.
Information about current scholarships is available on the
WEB. It is a complete guide to all USM sponsored scholarships,
including those specifically for USM LAC students.
Scholarships are separated by the college or department that
offers the scholarship. Each listing will tell you the name
of the scholarship, the minimum requirements for receiving
the scholarship, and how to obtain an application or more
information.
Please note that in addition to those scholarships available
only to students enrolled in certain colleges/programs/majors,
the University also offers a large number of “General
Scholarships” that are open to most matriculated USM
students.
Also, a number of scholarships do not have an application;
rather, they require a nomination from a faculty member. If
you wish to be considered for any “faculty-nominated
scholarship,” please ask a faculty member to nominate
you. (USM LAC faculty members have been provided with the necessary
forms).
For most scholarships, the recipient must achieve a minimum
3.0 GPA (please note that some scholarships have other GPA
requirements); the recipient must also be a continuing USM
student who is and will be registered for six or more USM
credits during the semester(s) in which the award is credited
to his/her account.
There are no restrictions to the number of scholarships to
which a student may apply or be nominated. Please review all
requirements before applying for any scholarship. For more
information on scholarships, please contact Suzanne Frigon,
Assistant Director for Financial Aid at LAC, at 753-6597,
or email at sfrantz@usm.maine.edu.
