If you’re a member of the armed forces or an honorably discharged veteran and you want to attend college in the State of Maine, you are eligible for in-state tuition rates, regardless of what state you are a citizen of. This applies to all public colleges and universities in the state, which are the schools of the University of Maine System, the Maine Community College System, and the Maine Maritime Academy. This does not extend to other members of your family.
