Attend Maine Maritime Academy as a Veteran and Walk Away With at Least $892

Public College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

If you live in Maine and you qualify for full benefits, your tuition and fees will be covered by your Post-9/11 benefits. If you live outside of Maine and it has been less than three years since your discharge Maine Maritime Academy will consider you an in-state student anyways and you will be fully covered.

Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefit*	$14,058
Total In Your Pocket	-$0
*Note: The tuition benefit is capped at the lessor of the actual tuition charged to you or $20,235.

Remember, some forms of aid such as Pell Grants are awarded in addition to your Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits so be sure to fill out your FASA forms.

Yellow Ribbon Program

It appears as though Maine Maritime Academy participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, but we could not determine if there are restrictions of this participation. If you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you may be able to get additional assistance in the form of a Yellow Ribbon Award so check with the college.

Remember, only veterans who qualify for full Post-9/11 benefits are eligible to participate in a Yellow Ribbon program.

Maine Maritime Academy awarded a total of $21,164 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 5 veterans for an average award of $4,233 ($8,466 after government matching).

Questions to Ask the Admissions Department

Which programs and majors (if any) participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program and how do I apply?

Per Credit Fees and the Active Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

With a per credit charge for in-state students of $370, Maine Maritime Academy falls above the tuition assistance cap of $250 for active duty personnel.

Below Cap for State Residents?	$370 per credit
Below Cap for Non Residents (Out of State)?	$845 per credit

Almost all public colleges treat full-time non-resident veterans as in-state students. You should check with Maine Maritime Academy to see if that policy is true for part-time students as well.
