More than 400 University of Maine students who live in Androscoggin County have been added to the list of college students eligible for the “L-A Express” student discount shopping cards.

The UMaine Corporate Affiliates program has partnered with the Androscoggin County Chamber of Commerce to promote the new initiative. Now in its second year, the L-A Express student discount card program offers discounts ranging from 5 to 50 percent to students attending six local colleges or medical schools in the Lewiston-Auburn area at Androscoggin County Chamber members.

With the card, students can receive discounts at nearly 60 participating establishments listed at www.androscoggincounty.com. The businesses include salons, restaurants and other shops, financial institutions, travel agencies and service providers.
