All completed documents must be emailed to jswift@usm.maine.edu. You will receive a confirmation email, usually within 48 hours, indicating receipt of materials. This confirmation does not indicate a complete application, only that your application submission was received.
You must submit a completed application which includes the following:

(If applying for the William G. McGowan Scholarship, you must have at least one School of Business faculty member as a reference. A supplemental handout is available here for complete details.) Those providing a reference should be directed to email the completed form to jswift@usm.maine.edu, as instructed on the reference form. To confirm that references have been received, you may call the School of Business Office at (207)780-4022 or email jswift@usm.maine.ed.
