Massachusetts Part Time Grant Program

More adults now find themselves needing to return to the classroom on a less than full-time basis. The continuous increase in college costs is also requiring more students to reconsider their enrollment plans and to look at part-time programs as viable alternatives. The Commonwealth has recognized the above needs and established the Part Time-Grant program to serve as a bridge between higher education opportunities and those segments of the Massachusetts population.

Massachusetts Scholarships and Grants

While taking courses and attending college is important for a professional career, many students are unable to afford the tuition that a great deal of colleges require. College tuition and fees for books and services have increased substantially in recent years.

With the added repercussions of a weak economy, many students are opting to find jobs and disregard college. The good news is that many schools and programs in Massachusetts offer scholarships and grants to help offset the expensive costs of tuition.
