Flagship Match cited in Santa Fe New Mexican editorial on college affordability

The University of Maine’s Flagship Match tuition scholarship program was mentioned in the Santa Fe New Mexican editorial, “Use affordability as a selling point.” “An interesting experiment is taking place in Maine,” the article states, pointing to the UMaine program that guarantees academically qualified, first-year students from several states will pay the same tuition and fee rate as their home state’s flagship institution. “We might try an experiment to allow in-state tuition at one of the smaller universities for all students, and start recruiting nationwide,” the editorial states.
