A Call for Maine Scholars!

Scholarships & Eligibility

Through a generous grant from The Lunder Foundation, graduate students are eligible for a super-sized scholarship, and undergraduate students are eligible for free on-campus housing.

Best of all, all students who live in Maine—or who want to work in Maine—are eligible!

Guaranteed Internships at Acceptance

Instead of spending time on extensive research and competing for internships, Lesley students can begin their educational journey with a guaranteed internship or field placement at an organization of their choice. This allows them to focus on making their experience truly enriching.

Upon graduation, Maine Scholars receive priority job consideration from their internship or field placement organization, helping ensure a smoother transition into the workforce.

Life-Long Support

Students receive hands-on support not only from faculty but also from peers pursuing internships or field placements at the same organizations. This creates a built-in cohort and a strong sense of community as they advance in their careers.
