Wednesday Webinar – Resources for New Mainers

Date/Time
Date(s) - Wednesday January 8, 2025

New Mainers are critical to the success of the Maine economy. Many new Mainers encounter unique challenges when pursuing education, such as extra steps in the FAFSA filing process, ineligibility for federal student aid, difficulties in translating documents from their native country, and challenges covering test and licensing fees. In this webinar, we’ll share a tool to determine eligibility for federal student aid and address challenges faced by parents without Social Security numbers. We’ll then share resources available to support new Mainers regardless of their citizenship status. We look forward to having you join us!
