University of Maine System | Regional Student Program

Are you a New England resident interested in studying an academic subject that’s not available at your home state university? Are you looking for ways to save money while attending college in another New England state? You’re in luck! As a member of the New England Regional Student Program (RSP), the University of Maine System’s seven public universities offer a discount on tuition to out-of-state New England students who study a program not offered at their home state public university.

In fact, Maine’s discounted rate in many cases is lower than what you would pay to attend your home state New England public university as a resident.

With over 50 majors available it’s easy to find a program that qualifies.
