Meet Matthew Soulsby!
Matthew Soulsby came to Merrymeeting Adult Education in July of 2019 for assistance with college and career counseling. He took the Accuplacer tests and passed them on the very first attempt for his application to University of Maine at Augusta. He worked with our Academic Counselor, Paul Elisha, to complete his application and apply to the UMA Cybersecurity program, completed the FAFSA application for financial aid, and applied, and was awarded the Adult Learner Scholarship! Matt has worked to overcome (and is still overcoming) a lot of struggles to get to where he is today on his academic/overall life journey. Currently, he is working toward his bachelorโs degree in Cybersecurity at UMA.
Thank you, Matt, for sharing your story with Merrymeeting and our community members. We couldn't be happier for your continued success and we wish you and your family the very best!
