The Maine State Legislature enacted P.L. 2017, Ch. 387, codified at 22 M.R.S. §3790-A which authorized the Department to establish a student financial aid program based on need known as the Higher Opportunity for Pathways to Employment (HOPE) Program. HOPE will aid up to 800 low-income Parents and Specified Relatives of minor children who are qualified to receive federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), but do not receive TANF cash assistance. HOPE serves students matriculated in a postsecondary Training or Education Program, or a program providing remedial services necessary for the individual to matriculate in such a program, that results in a high-value, industry or trade recognized certificate or similar, universally recognized and accepted credential; or a postsecondary undergraduate degree. Participants in HOPE are provided with a package of student aid that includes all Support Services necessary for participation in the Training or Education Program.
