Kiplinger cites UMaine’s Flagship Match Scholarship
The University of Maine’s Flagship Match Scholarship was mentioned in a Kiplinger article about “Little-Known Ways to Pay In-State Tuition Rates at Out-of-State Colleges.” UMaine provides students from California, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont its education at the same sticker price (tuition and fees) as that of the public flagship in the student’s home state, according to the article. “To qualify for the best deal, students must earn at least a 3.0 grade-point average and score a combined 1120 on the SAT. Students from other states who meet the academic standards can receive $13,200 off the University of Maine’s out-of-state tuition and fees ($29,480 for 2016–17). Students with lower GPAs and scores can receive a $9,000 discount.”
