Federal Pell Grant:
These grants are for extremely needy
students and are the first and largest grants to be awarded. All eligible
students will receive awards. Other awards may be added to the student's
"financial aid package" to meet remaining student needs. Awards are available to
full-time (12 or more credits per semester), three-fourths-time (9 to 11 credits
per term), half-time (6 to 8 credits per term) and less-than-half-time ( 1 to 5
credits per term) enrolled students. Only undergraduates who have not yet earned
a first baccalaureate degree are eligible.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG):
FSEOG's are awarded to students with exceptional need who are also receiving
Federal Pell Grants. All part-time and full-time students may qualify for
awards, but due to limited funding, all eligible students will not receive
awards. Only undergraduates who have not yet earned a first baccalaureate degree
are eligible.
State of Maine Grant Programs:
These awards are to students by the State of Maine who demonstrate level of need
and are full-time students. Part-time awards are available only to students with
a certain level of need that are enrolled at least half-time (6 to 8 credit
hours per term). Only undergraduates who have not yet earned a first baccalaureate
degree are eligible.
Bernard Osher Scholarship:
These are available to students who are Maine residents who have a financial
need and enrolled full-time (12 credit hours
per term) in associate degree programs. Recipients will be known as Osher
Scholars and must maintain a 2.5 cumulative grade point average to retain
eligibility for continued awards during each year of enrollment.

Apply!
These are available to incoming
students who will begin a degree, certificate or diploma program and are SAD
49 graduates, residents of the Town of Albion, or Marden’s employees.
Application forms are also available from the KVCC Financial Aid Office. First
priority will go to students who will be enrolling in allied health or trade
programs who demonstrate the need for supplemental financial assistance to
cover their unique program costs, such as tools, equipment, supplies, or
uniforms; as well as the additional transportation costs created when
commuting to assigned clinical, field and experiential education work sites.
Second priority will go to incoming students who need scholarship funds in
order to be able to enroll at KVCC. Applicants must be Maine residents with a
high school average of C or better, with unmet financial need as determined by
the KVCC Financial Aid Office. Therefore, applicants will need to fill out a
