Part-Time Grant Program

In Massachusetts, as in some other states, the number of part-time students has grown due to demographic and economic conditions. 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 consider part-time programs. The Commonwealth recognizes these needs and has established the Part-Time Grant Program in response. Learn more here.
