To make a proper judgment as to the amount and types of assistance each student can receive, students are required to apply for financial aid. The University of Maine requires only one financial aid application: the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Priority consideration is given to the earliest complete applications for financial aid, especially for any Federal Work-Study or Federal Perkins Loan. Applications will be accepted by the Federal processing center no earlier than January 1 prior to the Fall semester for which the student wishes to receive financial assistance.

For more information on the process, access to forms and additional information on financial aid, visit the University of Maine Graduate School financial aid web page here.
