University of Maine at Presque Isle

What is the cost of studying for a year at University of Maine at Presque Isle?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $7,800 for Maine residents and $13,260 for nonresidents. Required fees were $1,602 in either category, bringing those tuition-and-fee figures to $9,402 and $14,862, respectively. These are published charges before grants or scholarships, not a complete cost of attendance.

• Maine resident: $7,800 tuition plus $1,602 required fees for 2024-25.
• Nonresident: $13,260 tuition plus $1,602 required fees for 2024-25.
• Reported room and board: $11,125 for an academic year, comprising a $5,610 room charge and a $5,515 board charge.
• Reported books and supplies: $1,000; transportation and personal expenses are additional considerations.

Adding the listed 2024-25 tuition, fees, room and board, and books yields $21,527 for a Maine resident or $26,987 for a nonresident living under those reported arrangements. Neither sum includes transportation or personal expenses, so neither is a complete official cost-of-attendance budget. Commuters, online students, and students taking a different credit load will have different costs; YourPace uses a different tuition structure that should be priced separately.

Financial aid can reduce what a student pays. In 2024-25 aid reporting, 86% of students received financial aid and 23% had student loans. Those percentages do not tell an applicant what award they will receive. Net price - the cost remaining after grant and scholarship aid - varies with eligibility and circumstances; a personal aid offer is more informative than a published average.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Maine at Presque Isle?

UMPI students may be able to combine study with paid work through Federal Work-Study or other student jobs. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid awarded to eligible students; it is not the same as an automatic job assignment or a grant paid without working.

Students generally establish federal-aid eligibility through the FAFSA, then apply for available positions according to the university's student-employment procedures. An award sets an earnings limit; pay depends on hours actually worked. Students without Work-Study may still be eligible for jobs that use other funding, so it is worth checking the funding requirement on each posting.

Career support is a related but distinct service. UMPI reports offering individual and group career counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, career-interest assessment, employer contacts, job listings, and job fairs. Those services can support a search for internships or employment, but they should not be confused with verified job-placement outcomes.
