Tuition Advantage Program

The Tuition Advantage Program (TAP) is an additional benefit for students who have earned an associate's degree in the Joint Admissions Program with a 3.0 cumulative grade point average.

TAP allows a 33% reduction off in-state tuition at a state college or the University of Massachusetts as a day student (TAP is not available for summer or evening programs).

The tuition reduction applies for the two years (or four consecutive semesters) following graduation from community college, provided the 3.0 grade point average is maintained.

 

Please note: As of March 10, 2008, the office of the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education
was renamed the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education. The name change will be integrated into
prior existing website content gradually over the next few months.
