Secure Your Future as a Prestigious Kiest Morgan Scholar

Ten years ago, when Thomas College launched its three-year bachelor’s degree program within the H. Allen Ryan School of Business, the Kiest-Morgan Scholar program was one of the first programs of its kind in the country, and is available to newly entering, first-time undergraduates with a qualifying GPA.

Since then, Thomas College has expanded the three-year option to nearly all academic programs and added a +1 (one year) graduate program offering.

Thomas is one of only a handful of institutions in the country with this degree program and is the only one of its kind in Maine.

Maine Needs Higher Education

Vol. II, Issue 2

If you follow me on social media (@thomascollegepres), you know that last week I had the honor of meeting with Maine’s legislators on Capitol Hill. For someone who is interested in politics and current events, going to Washington, D.C. is always exciting. My daughter used to joke that in our family, federal elections were our Superbowl. This time, not only did I get to meet our delegation to sing the praises of Thomas and tout how important our Terriers are to Maine’s economy, while I was there, the House of Representatives approved legislation that included $1.1 million in funding for Thomas College’s third science lab, new lab equipment, and initiatives that will put Thomas graduates directly into skilled STEM careers. While obtaining Congressional funding is in actuality a rigorous and lengthy process involving many stakeholders, for me last week, it felt like I came home from D.C. with $1.1 million for the College. That was a pretty fabulous feeling.
