Accept your financial aid award

UMA has rolled out the first round of financial aid awards. Be sure to check MaineStreet to see if you have an award. The award package is based on full-time enrollment for fall and spring. When you accept the award you will be prompted to indicate how many credits you are planning for fall and spring and summer. Adjustments to the award for part-time enrollment and for summer financial aid will then be made. Please note: UMA summer course registration requires either: full payment, 1st payment on a payment plan, a financial aid award, or a third party payment guarantee.

If you accept a work-study award offer for summer or fall as part of your financial aid package please contact Arlene Smith to let her know that you are interested in exploring a work-study job at the center.
