MAINE HIGHER EDUCATION ASSISTANCE FOUNDATION
The Maine Higher Education Assistance Foundation was established in the 1950’s to support a guarantee fund for student loans.  The founders included a wide range of banks, businesses, community organizations and individuals.  In 1990, the MeHEAF trustees, to continue the original intent of the founding members, initiated a scholarship program funded by the return on the original loan guarantee funds. 

MeHEAF is administered by the Maine Bankers Association, 489 Congress Street, Portland. 

Colleges receiving MeHEAF grants this year are: Husson University, Maine Community College System, St. Joseph’s College, Thomas College, University of Maine at Augusta, University of Maine Fort Kent, University of Maine at Machias, University of Maine at Orono, University of Maine at Presque Isle, University of Southern Maine, University of New England, and Washington County Community College.
