Applying for financial aid, simplified

Financial aid helps many families manage the cost of higher education. There are three main types of aid: grants and scholarships, loans, and work-study. If you're new to financial aid, the first thing you should do is learn about the application process.

MEFA also offers FREE financial aid seminars at high schools across Massachusetts. Find a seminar near you.
