Free Community College at 十大彩票平台
No matter your age or income: community college is now free in Massachusetts!
The MassEducate and MassReconnect programs allow all Massachusetts residents access to community college for free - No tuition. No fees. Both programs include an allowance for books and supplies for eligible students. For program requirements and guidelines, visit our Student FAQ page.
To be eligible for MassEducate or MassReconnect, you must:
- Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
- If you are not eligible to complete the FAFSA and are an approved “High School Completer” under the Massachusetts tuition equity law, you can complete the Massachusetts Application for State Financial Aid (MASFA) and still attend for free.
- Apply to 十大彩票平台 and enroll in an approved program of study. Applications are open all year long and there’s never an application fee.
- Have physically resided in Massachusetts for at least one year, as of the start of your first enrolled term.
- Have earned a high school diploma or the equivalent (GED/HiSET)
- Be enrolled in at least six credits (usually two classes) per semester in an approved program of study leading to an associate degree or certificate.
- Maintain satisfactory academic progress in accordance with the college's requirements.
MassEducate and MassReconnect are last dollar financial aid grant awards that are applied to a student’s account after all other state and federal financial aid and grants are applied.
All students are subject to program guidelines and must maintain eligibility throughout the course of their studies to continue to receive financial aid through MassEducate and MassReconnect. Full program guidelines will be forthcoming.
Students who receive MassEducate or MassReconnect awards who are later found to be ineligible, for any reason, may be billed for disbursed funds.
