UMF Diversity Scholarship
Limited numbers of Diversity Scholarships are available each year for outstanding new first-year students from out-of-state whose attendance at UMF would help create a more diverse campus community.

These scholarships are awarded at the time of admission in the following amounts, depending on the student’s tuition rate:

     $4,000 per year to Non-Maine resident students who pay the out-of state tuition rate.

     $2,000 per year to Non-Maine resident students who pay the New England Regional Program tuition rate.

Preference will be given to students who have demonstrated quality academic achievement in high school, contributed to their schools and communities, and who can contribute to diversity on campus.

Criteria used when considering a student's potential contributions to diversity include, but are not limited to, special talents (except for athletic ability**), geographic location, ethnicity, and academic interests and ability.

** As a member of NCAA Division III, UMF is not permitted to consider athletic skill in awarding any kind of financial assistance.
