Tuition & Aid
Full-time tuition and fees at Maine’s community colleges for Maine students is $4,156 a year, the lowest cost in New England. For about 80% of our degree-seeking students, Pell Grants and Maine State Grants cover the full cost of tuition and fees. For many, the grants cover significantly more. Recent high school graduates qualify for a Free College Scholarship that pays 100% of tuition. You don’t have to be a full-time student to qualify for financial aid.
We also offer several tuition-free options

Study in Canada
The MCCS New Brunswick Exchange enables Maine residents to study at one of New Brunswick’s 11 community colleges. The Canadian colleges offer a number of programs not available at Maine’s community colleges, and the Exchange makes it possible for Maine residents to pay a discounted rate, roughly equal to tuition and fees at Maine’s community colleges. An added benefit: programs in New Brunswick are available in both English and French.
