State Programs
Many states offer financial aid programs to assist residents with College costs. For some New England states, the grant is portable and may be received at Maine College of Art & Design even if the student is from another state. Grant amounts vary and each state program has its own formula and deadline. States determine their own recipients and notify both the student and the College. These awards are often made separately from the College's award letter and, as a result, revisions to the financial aid package may be required.
The following New England States award grant funds to students, even if they attend school in a different state:
- Vermont Student Assistance Corportation (VSAC)
To apply for a state grant students must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid and any other state specific forms. You should contact your state higher education agency to confirm their grant application requirements and deadlines.
