Financial Aid | Massachusetts Financial Aid
Building Future through Education Building future through education is the dream of every student. Yet after passing out the school education a student is concerned with the financial aspects of covering the huge expenses of the post-secondary education. While online education is comparatively less expensive, the expenses incurred are still quite substantial and often beyond the affordability of the students or their parents and guardians. Good news for all such students and their parents and guardians is that help is at hand in terms of Massachusetts scholarships and Massachusetts financial aid. Types of Massachusetts Financial Aid Both state authorities as well as external agencies provide financial aid in Massachusetts . For instance there is the Qatar Foundation that provides scholarships and financial assistance for needy meritorious students studying in Massachusetts . Scholarship in Massachusetts is available for research and community development studies as well as for post graduation courses.Massachusetts Scholarships and Financial Aid Features Since the Massachusetts financial aid plans are available for all types of students with divergent backgrounds as well as interests, they render real help in growth of education in the state. Ordinarily such financial aid is available in four different forms in Massachusetts . Grants and financial aid provided by Federal Government and such grants and Massachusetts scholarships constitute two of them while grants and financial supports provided by universities and colleges and by private organizations, corporations and foundations make the other two.Federal Financial Aid Features Students in Massachusetts are eligible for getting federal financial aids through grants and loans. Process to be followed is filing free application for federal student aid or FAFSA. While the dateline for federal aid is 30 th June, the one for Massachusetts financial aid is 1 st May. Applications at both ends are served on first-come, first-serve basis. Requirements of financial aid and Massachusetts scholarship is decided on the basis of the expected family contribution calculated through the FAFSA.Federal grants could be free in form of financial aid or low interest loans. Borrowers don’t have to pay back grants but are destined to pay back the loans.

if each scholarship ONLY pays for certain things, then that is all they will pay for… it won't get "Moved" to different costs, because it specifically says what it will pay for… tuition, or just tuition and fees… sorry.
Sounds like your Adams scholarship will be worthless… the one that pays tuition AND fees is the better deal… find a scholarship that will pay for books or housing…
the bad part about waivers is the have no real cash value…. so you can't usually use them for real costs (books, insurance).. etc.

It's scary how expensive college in the US is. I'm lucky because I went to a private uni. with great financial aid packages. If it weren't grants, financial aid, and such, I'd be more than $160,000 in debt. *screams* But, luckily, I don't even have to deal with 1/10 of that amount. I didn't even work while in uni. Private uni. offer students better deals than public ones more often than one would think.

Hi Rose,
Have you called Financial Aid at WSU? 508-929-8056. They mentioned someone called today with a very similar question. Since the Adams Scholarship is a tuition waiver and the Tsongas is a tuition and fee waiver, tuition can only be waived once so the Tsongas would trump the Adams. Congrats on your awards!! We look forward to you joining us in the Fall!!
