Maine College Transitions Honored by FAME
On November 10th, as part of its annual dinner and awards program, “Showcase Maine”, the Finance Authority of Maine (FAME) honored the Maine College Transitions Program with its Education at Work for Maine Award.
Maine College Transitions is an initiative of the Compact for Higher Education and the Maine Department of Education. Programs are designed to ensure that adults who are committed to earning a college degree, but have not completed high school or are academically under prepared for college work, get the support they need to earn high school diplomas and succeed in college. “The entire college transitions and adult education community in Maine is honored to receive this award,” says Larinda Meade, Coordinator of College Transitions. “To be recognized by an organization such as FAME helps to solidify the work that Maine College Transitions is doing.”
College Transitions programs are administered through Adult Education programs, Assistance comes in all forms, from identifying academic deficiencies (and working to over come them), skills assessment, to filling out applications and financial aid forms to resume work
