Financial Aid

Award Letters


After the Financial Aid Office has received FAFSA information from the Federal Processor and has gone through any corrections or verification process (if required), we will calculate an award package.  Students will receive an Award Letter that explains what information was used as the basis of the award, and the aid amount for which the student is eligible.

Be advised that changes that occur as a result of the verification or appeal process can change aid eligibility.  If a change does occur, the student will receive email notification (sent to your maine.edu email address) of the change and be urged to check WebDSIS for details.

Students will receive two copies of the first award letter sent.  One is for students to keep for their own records.  The other must be filled out and returned to the Financial Aid Office so that we may process the  financial aid.
