A $10,000 grant from the Nellie Mae Fund for Education to the University of Maine Upward Bound program is helping some high-achieving, low-income students with first-year college expenses. This is the sixth year the non-profit foundation has awarded grants to support pre-collegiate research internships for Upward Bound Math/Science students during the "Bridge" year between high school and college.
