“I chose to attend EMCC because of the affordability and closeness to home but more importantly because of the program selection! What I like the most about the school is that the community is really supportive and full of opportunities if you just take them!”
Financial Aid
Did you know? 86% of full-time, first-time degree-seeking students at Eastern Maine Community College receive some sort of financial aid!
The Office of Financial
Aid attempts to make our college affordable by providing financial assistance and advice to current and prospective students and parents. While students have the primary responsibility for financing their education, there are Federal, State, and college grants, scholarships, loans, and student employment to assist them. Financial aid is based on the student’s annual completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the availability of funds.
Do not wait for the formal acceptance to EMCC before filing your financial aid application!
Make sure to complete your FAFSA every year!
- Attending Fall 2025, Spring 2026, or Summer 2026 – Complete the 2025-2026 FAFSA
- Attending Fall 2026, Spring 2027, or Summer 2027 – Complete the 2026-2027 FAFSA
