All international undergraduate students that apply to the University of Southern Maine will automatically be considered for Academic Merit-Based Scholarships. If the student meets the academic criteria they will be awarded a merit-based scholarship at the time of admission. This means that students will find out right away if they will receive a scholarship from USM and it also means that more students will receive scholarships.

NOTE: Students who already have a Bachelor's degree or the equivalent of a U.S. Bachelor's degree are not eligible for the following scholarships.

Graduate Studies Scholarship Application
The Office of Graduate Studies awards several scholarships and tuition waiver awards each year. Both new and returning students are eligible to apply, however, there may be additional criteria for some awards. Students can submit the Graduate Studies Scholarship Application (a.k.a OGS Scholarship Application) along with the required documents and will be considered for all OGS scholarships and tuition waivers. The awards are contingent upon annual available funding and range from a one year award to a four year award. Scholarships are awarded in variable amounts up to $3,000 per academic year. Tuition waivers are awarded in flexible credit increments up to eighteen credits per academic year.

In order to be eligible for this award students must be matriculated into a graduate program at USM, be enrolled in at least 6 graduate-level credits in each semester in which they receive the award, and maintain satisfactory academic progress toward their degree (minimum 3.0 GPA).

Students who have not been accepted into a graduate program can still submit a scholarship application, however, awards will be contingent upon acceptance and matriculation into a graduate program at USM. Students must submit an application for admission before applying for a scholarship.

Scholarship decisions will be based on the following criteria: GPA (minimum 3.0), demonstrated financial need, and a commitment to graduate studies. Applications are reviewed twice per year.
