Plymouth State attracts Maine, Vermont students with grants

PLYMOUTH, N.H. (AP) - Plymouth State University officials say they’re seeing some success with a program to attract students from Maine and Vermont.

The university launched its North Woods Connection program just over a year ago. It combines federal, state and institutional grants and scholarships to ensure out-of-pocket directly billed costs do not exceed comparable costs for in-state students.

So far, the university has awarded more than $73,000 to 44 students.
