Free Community College for MA Residents
Requirements for Free Community College MA
I haven't seen a post here about this topic yet but this year, MA recently expanded free community college for ALL MA residents (who don't have their bachelors), regardless of age.
Last year community college was made free for all MA residents aged 25+ but now it seems that it has been expanded for all MA residents of ANY age and ANY income.
This has even been expanded for undocumented MA Residents!
If one was super serious about being debt-free, they could potentially move to MA, live and work here for a year to get residency, and get their associate's degree for free (they will pay for 2 associate's degrees for anyone without a bachelor's, as per the requirements).
I, unfortunately, do not qualify for this grant, as I already have my BS and MS. But I filled out the FAFSA anyway and the local community college confirmed that I don't qualify (I had to try!). Although disappointed, I'm still super happy for my all my adult friends who are going back to college for FREEEE!!!!
MA Maintains its Place as the #1 Educated State in the US!
