SOUTH PARIS — The University of Maine System is offering Osher New Beginnings Scholarshipsto encourage Maine people of all ages to try college and see if it’s right for them.
University College at South Paris is now accepting new scholarship requests for the fall 2017 semester. The scholarship covers one college course, including tuition, fees, books and required materials.
“There’s no catch,” said a news release from the college. “We just want to give you the chance to see if now is the right time for you to start down that new path. But we don’t want you to worry about paying for a course just to give something a try.”
