Maine State Grant Program

The Maine State Grant Program provides need-based grants to Maine undergraduate students. For the 2019-2020 academic year and the 2020ÔÇô2021 academic year, the maximum grant award amount is $1,500. You must be enrolled at least half-time in an undergraduate program at an eligible institution. Because this is a need-based grant, your expected family contribution (EFC) must not exceed the maximum EFC set in any given year. The EFC for the 2019-2020 academic year is 5,800. The EFC for the 2020-2021 academic year is 4,500.* You must attend an eligible college/university in Maine. Students enrolled in NEBHEÔÇÖs Tuition Break Program, the New England Regional Student Program, may also be eligible. Contact FAME or your financial aid office for more information.
