Cost of Attendance

Understanding the cost of attending MSSM is an important part of planning for your student’s future. Maine residents receive a tuition-free public education, while families are responsible for room and board. Financial aid may be available to help eligible families with these costs.

Understanding the Cost

Students from Maine communities that do not operate a public high school may qualify for town-based tuition support.

Families should contact their town office or school district to determine whether this applies.

Financial Aid for Room and Board

Need-based financial aid for room and board may be available to eligible families. MSSM uses Blackbaud Financial Aid Management to review each family’s financial circumstances confidentially. Blackbaud provides an assessment, while MSSM determines awards based on institutional policy and available resources.  Awards are limited by available resources and are determined based on institutional policy and individual family circumstances
