The University of Maine at Machias is pleased to offer the Downeast Promise program in support of Maine students and families. The Downeast Promise promotes access to higher education, and increases affordability so more Maine students can earn a college degree.

The Downeast Promise guarantees that all first-time, full-time, Pell Grant-eligible Maine residents receive sufficient grant and/or scholarship funding to cover 30 credits per year of tuition and standard fees — a savings of around $9,000 annually.

We hope this level of funding will encourage students to enroll at the University of Maine at Machias and earn their degree in a timely manner.
