Hundreds of thousands of families have turned to MEFA, the college financing experts, for guidance on paying for college. We can help you, too. It's never too late.
Instead of misleading customers with low advertised rates that few qualify for, we want to help you find a loan that fits your situation. MEFA is one of the only sources of low-cost fixed interest rate loans offering consistent monthly payments and three affordable repayment options.
It's not too late to get a MEFA Loan. MEFA offers fixed interest rate loans for undergraduate and graduate students with several repayment options – immediate, interest-only, and deferred – so you can choose a loan that meets your needs. Any Massachusetts resident may apply for a MEFA loan, whether you’re attending college or grad school in-state or out-of-state. U.S. students attending a Massachusetts college or university may also apply.

Financial aid comes from a number of sources and includes grants and scholarships, Federal Work-Study, and loans for parents and students. Awards may be need-based, as determined by a standardized calculation of a family’s financial ability to pay for college, or merit-based, in recognition of student achievements.
One of the most important ways to make sure you receive all the assistance you are eligible to receive is to apply for financial aid from a variety of sources and submit applications on time. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, is required by all colleges for federal and state aid.
