Financial Aid

FinAid

Expenses will be made regardless of the pathway you choose. Make sure to do your research and see what's available.

Financial aid can be especially a big help in paying for college. Apply for financial aid from a variety of sources in order to get as much assistance as you are eligible to receive. 

Financial Aid is an annual process, and applications must be filed every year. 

Types of Financial Aid


Not all financial aid is "free money." When you receive financial aid, it may consist of any or all of the following types of aid: 

Grants and Scholarships: Gift aid that does not have to be repaid, and may include federal grants, scholarships from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, institutional aid based on merit or financial need, and local scholarships. 

Work-Study: Federal and institutional work-study programs allow students to work part-time on or near campus while in college. 

Parent and Student Loans: Loans are available for parents and students and may come from the federal government or private lenders (including some colleges and universities). 

For further information about financial aid, please visit MEFA's website. Massachusetts Educational Financing Authority is a non-profit organization that serves students and families in Massachusetts and out-of-state students and families pursuing higher education in Massachusetts.
