  • Summer STEM research programs – It's not too early to begin preparing your applications for paid summer research programs in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math fields. For a list of programs for college students in Maine and elsewhere, check out the Pathways to Science website. 

The Fall Semester is coming to an end, but it's never too early to figure out your finances for upcoming semesters.

The My Money section of My Maine Guide on the SMCC portal has information you need to know when it comes to billing and financial aid.

On billing matters, you can check your account balance, pay your student bill online, learn about payment plan options, check your bookstore allowances and get information about your IRS form 1098-T.

It's also where you can apply for financial aid, check your financial aid status and learn about federal loans.

But that's not all. My Money is also where you'll find the SALT financial literacy tool and information about scholarships, on-campus jobs and more.
