Tuition-Free College Courses
Maine adults seeking to pursue College have a new option to jumpstart their education, with the support from their local Maine College System (MCCS) and the Maine Department of Education (DOE)will offer tuition-free college courses to Maine’s adult education students
Maine adult education programs have supported adult students in their transition to college and career through the Maine College and Career Access program for almost twenty years. This new opportunity expands upon that idea by allowing adult education students to take a college course with the full support of their adult education program mentors so they can develop the habits, skills, and confidence to succeed in college.
Adult education programs will work with adult students to select a course at the community college that is appropriate for their college and career goals, and then support the student as they complete the course. The goal is that they will continue their education once the course is completed.
