The agreements will ease the application process for students hoping to attend college outside their home countries
International high school students now have an easier pathway to higher education, thanks to an agreement signed between the University of New England and various secondary schools in Maine and beyond.

To qualify as eligible for conditional acceptance, students must study at their respective schools for at least two years and maintain a 3.0未加权G.P.A. 另外, English language proficiency tests will be waived for students who complete two years of schooling at their respective institutions. Qualifying graduates will receive merit scholarships of at least $17,000 per year.
