Lesley Announces Maine Scholars Program
The Maine Scholars program gives students prioritization by Maine employers as well as opportunities for financial aid and scholarship benefits.

Make the world your classroom.

Engage in cultural exchange. Enhance your language skills. Visit historic and natural sites. And build your knowledge of and appreciation for multiple perspectives. This is the power of international education.

Through our Global Education Center, you can launch your plans to study abroad at a school outside of the US or come to Lesley University in bustling Cambridge, Massachusetts as an international student. Whether you're coming here to learn or planning to explore the world beyond our campus, we’ll support you along the way.
