"What really drew me to the College was the fact that I knew I would get a lot of ‘real world’ experience. My hands-on experience was invaluable. MCLA supports its students, doing what it takes to get them into new experiences that will later prove to be stepping stones into a career."

Financial Aid

The Office of Financial Aid administers federal and state financial aid programs. Over 80% of Mass College matriculated undergraduate students receive some form of financial aid, which is awarded on the basis of need. Most financial aid packages consist of a combination of grants, loan and part-time employment. Student aid funds come primarily from state and federal programs such as Pell Grants, Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant, MASS Grant, the College Work-Study Program, Perkins Loan and Stafford Student Loans. For students who do not have their needs meet or do not qualify for financial aid, there are a number of alternative loan and payment plans available.
