ORONO — The University of Maine’s Onward Program, which helps people facing economic or academic challenges obtain four-year degrees, will host two information sessions on Thursday March 24.

The sessions are scheduled for UMaine’s East Annex building from 2-4 p.m. and from 5-7 p.m.  Visitors will tour the offices, meet the staff, enjoy light refreshments and hear from a panel of current students. Contact Lori Watson (207) 581-2320 or TTY (207) 581-2325 if you plan to attend or want more information or an application packet.

Created in 1970, the Onward Program has helped hundreds of students gain access to the University of Maine.  The program is accepting applications for the 2011-12 academic year, with a priority aid package to those who apply by April 1, 2011.
