Maine residents who seek to transfer foreign college or professional credentials may be eligible for a grant through the Finance Authority of Maine (FAME).
FAME's Foreign Credentialing Grant Program provides grants to assist eligible Maine residents with certain costs associated with obtaining a foreign credential evaluation in order to access higher education, employment, or professional certification in the U.S.
Funded with support from MaineCF, this new program provides grants of up to $700 toward the costs associated with obtaining a foreign credential evaluation. Funds are limited and will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
