FARMINGTON — The University of Maine at Farmington is proud to announce the “Farmington is Family” Alumni Tuition Program offering in-state tuition rates and scholarships to college-bound children of UMF graduates residing out-of-state. Effective Fall of 2017, this new alumni benefit will be for all incoming and returning students, including transfers.
Because Farmington is family, these out-of-state legacy students—with at least one parent who obtained a degree from UMF—will be treated as in-state students, a benefit equivalent in the 2016-17 academic year of over $9,000. Legacy students will also be eligible candidates to receive in-state academic merit and need-based scholarships.
“Of our 14,000 alumni, more than 4,400 reside out-of-state,” said Kathryn A. Foster, UMF president. “With this commitment, we make Farmington an affordable college destination for all our alumni families no matter where they’re thriving throughout the world.”
Creative thinking to fill revenue needs and provide educational opportunities at reasonable cost.
