“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!”

Eastern Maine Community College Foundation Scholarships
The EMCC Foundation awards more than 80 scholarships each year to help students pay for college. These scholarships support a wide range of students, including those with financial need, students from rural communities, non-traditional learners, and first-time college students.
Students complete a single online scholarship application, which is used to determine eligibility for multiple scholarship opportunities. The application is free, and submitting complete and thoughtful information helps ensure the best possible match with available funds.
Some scholarships may require additional materials, such as an essay or a donor thank-you note, after selection. Award requirements and next steps are communicated directly to recipients.
Scholarships are awarded on a rolling basis as funds are available. Awards are applied directly to student accounts.
Visit the EMCC Foundation scholarships page for more information.
