When funding changes, goals shouldn’t

The Graduate Centennial Impact Fund empowers UMaine graduate students to keep going.

UMaine engineering students gear up to run an equipment test in a wind and wave simulation lab on campus.

Grad students are problem solvers,

but even the most promising path can be shaken by an unexpected loss of funding, like a revoked scholarship or delayed grant.

When this happens, students may face an impossible choice: pause their education or assume unsustainable debt.

Your support can sustain their momentum.

Uphold opportunity

UMaine graduate students drive discoveries and serve as mentors, teachers and collaborators across our community. When the unexpected happens, your support can help them defend their theses, mentor undergraduates and contribute to new discoveries.

Graduate school is a time of tremendous growth and discovery. I give to support graduate students because I know how hard they’re working and value that kind of dedication. This fund is one of the most direct and meaningful ways we can help them keep going when the unexpected happens.
