Healey-Driscoll Administration Announces Historic Financial Aid Expansion for Massachusetts Public College and University Students Governor Maura Healey and Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll announced a historic financial aid expansion that will benefit approximately 25,000 students attending the state’s public community colleges, state universities, and the University of Massachusetts. With close to $62 million in new program funding, the MASSGrant Plus Expansion program will cover tuition, fees, books, and supply costs for Pell Grant-eligible students and reduce out-of-pocket expenses for middle-income students by up to half.
Governor Healey announced the program this morning at Salem State University’s campus, along with Secretary of Education Patrick Tutwiler, Commissioner of Higher Education Noe Ortega, and Chair of the Board of Higher Education Chris Gabrieli. They were joined by Salem State University (SSU) President John D. Keenan; SSU students, faculty and staff; local and statewide elected officials; and public higher education leaders from across the state.
Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll – 75% of public higher ed grads stay in Massachusetts — I did after graduating from @SalemState ! An investment in public colleges and universities is an investment in our people and our future. So excited that thousands of students will see major savings starting this year!
Governor Maura Healey – Too many families and students give up on higher education because of the rising cost of a college degree. Today at @SalemState, we announced an expansion of MassGrant Plus to make it more affordable to attend any of Massachusetts’ incredible public colleges and universities.
Salem Mayor Dominick Pangallo – An honor to welcome the Governor & Lt. Governor, especially, for today’s historic announcement: free public college tuition & fees for low income MA students & more scholarships for those just over.
