All Boston residents are now eligible for tuition-free schooling at six community colleges
– regardless of their age, income or immigration status – under a new plan announced by the city government. City officials announced the expansion of its “Tuition-Free Community College Plan” in a Wednesday news release. The program provides funding for up to three years of tuition and fees at six partner institutions, according to the news release.
Potential students won’t need to fill out a separate application for the program, just the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, according to the release. Undocumented immigrants and students who have DACA status or Temporary Protected Status will not need to complete the FAFSA to be eligible for the program.
