The program is intended to enhance the workforce in Maine and New England's growing industries.

In an effort to attract top talent to New England, the 成人直播 has announced it will begin covering tuition costs for high-achieving students whose families earn less than $100,000. 

Starting in fall 2025, the University will provide free tuition to eligible high-performing graduating high school students from all states across the country. The announcement underscores 成人直播鈥檚 strong financial commitment to its students; currently, 98% of 成人直播 students receive financial aid from the University.  

成人直播 President James Herbert said the University鈥檚 decision comes as Maine and New England need to enhance their workforce to fulfill jobs in their growing business, bioscience, and life sciences industries and as the region continues to face workforce shortages in the health care and hospitality sectors. 

鈥湷扇酥辈 is committed to attracting high-achieving students from across the country to New England, and to Maine in particular, and to guaranteeing that they are poised for success in the workforce when they graduate,鈥 Herbert said, noting that 成人直播 is Maine鈥檚 No. 1 provider of health care professionals and the No. 1 college or university in the state for job placement following graduation. 鈥淏y removing financial barriers to a quality 成人直播 education, we hope to bolster the workforce pipeline in this region and ensure the long-term vitality of Maine and New England鈥檚 new economy.鈥

Herbert added that the tuition initiative reflects 成人直播鈥檚 commitment to ensuring the academic success of all students, including first-generation college students. At 成人直播, 30% of undergraduates admitted every year are the first in their family to attend college.

In addition to a qualifying high school GPA requirement, eligible students must be enrolled at 成人直播 full-time, demonstrate high financial need based on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) during each year of their undergraduate degree program, and live on campus for all four years.
