Portland, ME · ABA 509 disclosure, 2025 cycle · 72.0% of students receive grant aid
Mixed. No single band dominates.
Grant award distribution
The 509 requires schools to report where grant recipients fall across four bands. These are shares of students who received aid, not shares of all students.
| Band | Share of grant recipients | Share of all students |
|---|---|---|
| Half tuition or less | 18.0% | 13.0%derived: band share × coverage rate |
| Above half, below full | 24.0% | 17.3%derived: band share × coverage rate |
| Full tuition | 28.0% | 20.2%derived: band share × coverage rate |
| Above full tuition | 2.0% | 1.4%derived: band share × coverage rate |
| All grant recipients | 72.0% | 100% |
Award size
| 25th percentile grant | $15,000 |
|---|---|
| Median grant (50th percentile) | $23,535 |
| 75th percentile grant | $32,926 |
| Median grant as share of annual tuition | 90%in-state tuition $26,100 |
These are percentiles among grant recipients, not minimums and maximums. A 25th-percentile grant of $15,000 means a quarter of recipients received that much or less — the least award could be considerably lower.
What tuition looks like after the median grant
| Annual in-state tuition | $26,100 |
|---|---|
| Median grant per year | −$23,535 |
| Remaining tuition after median aid | $2,565 |
This is an optimistic floor rather than a real figure. The median grant only covers students who received aid — 28.0%of students received none — and it assumes the same award holds for all three years. Fees and housing are not included; add them from this school’s cost of attendance page.
Conditional scholarships
Maine does not award condition-based scholarships. An award contingent on maintaining a GPA or class rank is not the same as one that cannot be withdrawn, and not every school offers the latter kind.
Tuition guarantee
Maine does not report a tuition guarantee. Published tuition for 2025-26 is $26,100 per year, and there is no reported commitment to hold it steady across your three years.

Source: University of Maine Law School ABA Standard 509 Required Disclosure, 2025 reporting cycle. Grant figures describe full-time students in the most recently reported cohort, in dollars per year. Percentile shares of all students are derived from the band share and coverage rate and are not themselves disclosed. None of these figures is a financial aid offer; actual awards depend on your circumstances, the school’s policy and its aid budget that year. Not financial advice.
