University of Maine Grants & Maine Matters Grants are awarded to undergraduate students with exceptional financial need as determined by information provided on the FAFSA, specifically, the expected family contribution.

If you qualify for this grant, it will appear as part of your Financial Aid package on MaineStreet. Initially this grant will be awarded from a general fund under the name “University Grant” or “Maine Matters” but may eventually be replaced with the name of a specific scholarship fund.

You do not need to apply separately for the University of Maine Grant or for the Maine Matters Grant.
