Quincy College is participating in MassReconnect, the state’s new program designed to open the door to higher education for Massachusetts residents age 25 and older who haven’t previously earned a college degree. Under the new program, eligible students must: • Be 25 or older on the first day of classes (September 6 for Quincy College’s fall 2023 semester); • Have been a permanent legal resident of Massachusetts for at least one year by the start of the enrolled term; • Have not previously received an associate’s or bachelor’s degree; • Enroll in at least 6 credits per semester in an approved program of study leading to an associate’s degree or certificate (they may enroll full-time or part-time); • Complete the 2023-24 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Tuition and required fees will be covered and students will receive assistance to cover books/course materials and supplies. MassReconnect funding will be applied if eligible expenses exceed other grants/scholarships awarded through financial aid. “This unique program can be life-changing by enabling eligible students to pursue a college education without incurring a financial burden,” said Dr. Richard DeCristofaro, President of Quincy College. “We’re grateful to be part of an initiative that creates more educational opportunity for Quincy College students.” For more information about MassReconnect and to register for an upcoming information session, visit www.quincycollege.edu/MassReconnect.
