Office of Student Financial Assistance

On November 15, 2023, Governor Maura Healey announced MASSGrant Plus Expansion, a new financial aid program for students attending Massachusetts’ public colleges, universities, and the University of Massachusetts. MASSGrant Plus Expansion increases available funds to current beneficiaries of the MASSGrant Plus program and offers financial aid to students who currently do not qualify for MASSGrant Plus.

Both of DHE’s offices are currently in transition. The main Boston office is being renovated until approximately January 2025, so in-person operations are taking place in a nearby office space that can be visited by appointment only. The Office of Student Financial Assistance (OSFA), formerly located in Malden, is currently operating remotely until its permanant move to Everett is complete in January 2024.

If this sounds like you, or someone you know, you’re not alone. Almost two million Massachusetts residents are over the age of 25 and do not have a higher education credential.
