Your Guide to Finding Scholarships
Scholarships are a form of gift aid—meaning they don’t need to be repaid. Most are awarded outside of the college’s financial aid process, so it’s up to you to search and apply. Start with FAME’s Maine Scholarship Search tool below to explore opportunities.
- Stay organized with our tracking spreadsheet (.xlsx format) or Google Sheets version.
- Want more options? Visit the Maine Community Foundation’s scholarship directory for even more listings.
