AUGUSTA – The University of Maine at Augusta will hold an information session about the university’s Lewiston offerings for prospective students on Thursday, July 26.
The session will be from 4 to 6 p.m. in Room 108, at the University of Southern Maine Lewiston-Auburn Campus, 51 Westminster St., Lewiston.
Registration is open for UMA’s fall 2018 classes, and anyone interested in taking classes on a part-time or full-time basis is encouraged to attend.
The informal session will include a tour of UMA’s operations at the campus, and information on the admissions process, financial aid and tuition and academic programs.
UMA has recently introduced new programs in business and public administration at the Lewiston campus, along with two baccalaureate degrees in applied science and liberal studies for community college graduates who have earned an associate degree. An option to enroll in education classes that provide a pathway for K-12 teaching opportunities is also now available. Overall, UMA offers nearly 30 different degree programs and 20 certificates in Lewiston.
Counselors will be on site to provide assistance to prospective students in completing the UMA admissions application (now free), and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Attendees can also learn about the various scholarships offered by UMA, including the Osher New Beginnings Scholarship which can cover the entire cost of one course, including books and required materials.
“UMA has a long history of serving students in the Lewiston-Auburn area, and throughout the state,” said Jim Bradley, director of UMA’s locations in Lewiston, Rumford and South Paris. “They recognize the value of a UMA education, and also appreciate the program quality and the ability to complete their coursework onsite here, at other UMA locations, and online.”
While an RSVP is not required, anyone interested in attending is encouraged to do so online at uma.edu/infosession or by calling the admissions office at 877-862-1234.
