Enrolled students posted LSAT scores from 154 at the 25th percentile to 162 at the 75th percentile, a typical 8-point spread that reflects a fairly defined applicant profile. This profile makes Maine, University of a reasonable match school for applicants whose LSAT scores fall in the mid-range of the reported distribution.

Living costs off campus are estimated at $26,214 per year. While not among the highest-cost programs, three-year total costs remain significant — typically $114,480 in tuition alone.

Prospective students are encouraged to model total cost of attendance including living expenses and compare net cost across admitted institutions before making a final enrollment decision.

Scholarship funding at Maine, University of is widely distributed: 72% of full-time students receive some form of grant aid. The substantial median scholarship of $23,535 per year — ranging from $15,000 at the 25th percentile to $32,926 at the 75th percentile — indicates that merit and need-based awards are broadly available. This high grant prevalence suggests that applicants with above-median academic credentials have a realistic opportunity to reduce their cost of attendance meaningfully. Prospective students should request a scholarship estimate directly from the financial aid office and should not assume that the sticker price reflects what most students actually pay.
