Maine Scholarships
Living or studying in Maine qualifies you for scholarships that most students never see: statewide awards restricted to ME residents, where the applicant pool is a fraction of any national contest. These verified awards sit on top of the national scholarships and Maine's own state aid programs, so treat them as one layer of a larger funding plan.

Common questions
How many Maine scholarships are there?
Award Scholar currently lists 1 verified scholarships for Maine students, with amounts and deadlines checked against each sponsor's official page.
Do these scholarships require essays?
Not all of them. 1 of the current awards need no essay, so they take minutes to apply to. The essay-based ones tend to be less crowded and pay more, and Award Scholar can draft those essays in your own voice.
What Maine financial aid exists beyond scholarships?
Maine runs its own aid programs, including Maine State Grant, administered by Finance Authority of Maine. File the FAFSA (May 1, 2026.) to unlock them, then stack private scholarships on top. See the full Maine financial aid guide for deadlines and eligibility.
Can Maine students also win national scholarships?
Yes. Statewide awards restrict the applicant pool to Maine residents, which improves your odds, but they are one layer. Most winning students combine state-restricted awards, national scholarships that match their profile, and state aid.
When is the next deadline?
The next verified deadline in this group is April 1, 2027. Deadlines are spread across the whole year, so a miss is never fatal — new windows open every month.
