The Commonwealth of Massachusetts offers a Categorical Tuition Waiver to all Veterans and active duty Servicemembers who are permanent and legal residents of Massachusetts. This waiver can be used at the University of Massachusetts, a state university, or community college program.
The Massachusetts Public Service Grant was established for students who have experienced the loss of a parent and/or spouse who is killed or missing in the line of public service duty in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Public Service Grant Program is the only scholarship program not based on demonstrated financial need, but rather entitlement.
