The Financial Authority of Maine offers Maine residents access to financial aid and a connection to Dartmouth and the University of Vermont medical schools. In general,
there is a commitment of five seats at Dartmouth and 10 seats at University of
Vermont for applicants from Maine. It appears you have to fill out a “FAME application” that will be provided from the
participating medical schools. Getting into the FAME program offers a huge advantage when it comes to acceptance at Dartmouth of the University of Vermont. If you are from Maine, be sure to follow-up on this!
2. Tufts Maine
Track Program http://md.tufts.edu/Education/Maine-Track-Program
Tufts has partnered with Maine Medical Center (MMC) in Portland, Maine to offer a "Maine Track" for applications "interested in a unique, innovative curriculum that offers clinical
training experiences in Maine and exposes medical students to the unique
aspects of rural practice as well as training in a major tertiary
medical center." In addition, both Tufts and MMC "have committed to aggressively pursuing support
that will allow Maine Track students to attend medical school without an
unusual financial hardship. Plans are to seek grant support,
philanthropy, and state funding to subsidize tuition for the Maine Track
students with the goal of reducing the tuition to a level comparable to
in-state tuition at a regional medical school within a public
university." What a great program!See, it's not a disadvantage to be a pre-med from Maine after all!
