Quiver AI Summary

U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King, along with Representatives Chellie Pingree and Jared Golden, have urged Education Secretary Linda McMahon to reverse the Department of Education’s decision to end funding for two Upward Bound programs in Maine. The programs, serving low-income and first-generation students, were expected to receive continued funding through 2027.

The delegation expressed concern over the impact of the termination on enrolled students, stating, "The negative impact on the students enrolled in these two programs cannot be overstated." They highlighted the success of the programs in helping many students pursue higher education.

The Veterans Upward Bound Program at USM supports 125 veterans, while the River Valley Upward Bound Program at UMF serves around 60 students. Both programs have filed formal requests for reconsideration of the funding decision.
