Undergraduate Programs Administrative Services
and Policies Financial Aid The University of New England Financial Aid Office is committed to assisting students and families in finding the financial means necessary to achieving their educational goals. At UNE, more than 85 percent of our students receive some form of financial assistance. We believe that the financing of a college education should be a partnership between the student, the student's family, and the University. We encourage you to visit our website, where you may obtain additional information about our financial aid programs. Our office is located on the University Campus (UC) in 121 Decary Hall. Office hours are 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. weekdays. Financial aid advising services are available by appointment by calling (207) 283-0170 x2342. We also offer financial aid advising services by appointment on the Westbrook College Campus (WCC) at the Student Registration and Financial Services Center in Hersey Hall. Call (207) 797-7261 x4200 to schedule an appointment. Financial Aid Programs University of New England Scholarship and University of New England Departmental Award These programs are awarded by the Admissions Office and are based on an incoming student's demonstrated academic performance. In addition to the UNE Scholarship, students in certain majors may qualify for the UNE Departmental Award. Awards are renewable for up to four years of full time, continuous undergraduate study, based on the student's continued academic performance. The student is not required to demonstrate financial need to qualify for these programs. University of New England Access Grant This is a supplemental grant program based on the student's financial need. Students must be full time undergraduates. CIC Tuition Exchange Program The CIC Tuition Exchange Program is a benefit provided to the dependents of staff and faculty of participating CIC Colleges and Universities, who wish to be admitted to an undergraduate program at UNE.
