The Parents as Scholars (PaS) program is a student aid program that helps low-income parents in two or four-year college programs. It was created by the Maine Legislature in 1997 as part our state’s welfare reform plan. PaS is run by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) through the ASPIRE Program. Only parents who are eligible for, but not necessarily receiving, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families with Children (TANF, formerly AFDC) are eligible for PaS. http://www.mejp.org/pas_guide.
