Greenfield Opportunity Scholarship

Husson University is expanding its Opportunity Scholarship program to include qualified students from Piscataquis County.

Husson University is proud to announce a new scholarship that will allow qualified Piscataquis County students to attend Husson tuition-free, thanks to the generosity of the late Harry Greenfield ’66.

The Harry Greenfield Opportunity Scholarship provides students a tuition-free opportunity to attend Husson through a combination of federal, state, and institutional aid. As the second scholarship in Husson’s Opportunity program, it builds on the success of the Cyr Opportunity Scholarship to ensure that capable, driven students in Maine can afford a quality education that prepares them for the future.

Who is Eligible?

• Student Type: Entering first-year, first-time, full-time undergraduate students.

• Residency: The student must be a resident of Piscataquis County, Maine or attend a high school in Piscataquis County, Maine.

• Campus: Students must attend school on the Bangor campus in a four-year degree-granting program.

How do I apply?

How is the scholarship calculated?

The dollar amount for every student’s scholarship varies. The scholarship, in combination with all other forms of federal, state, and institutional financial aid, will be equal to the full cost of tuition for the student's selected academic program.
