Over the past 15 years, state funding for public higher education fell by a third in Massachusetts. At the same time, tuition and fees went up by $4,000 per year on average at community colleges, state universities and UMass.

We need to invest in our students, faculty and campuses. That starts by helping students get to the Finish Line with a new grant program that provides One Year Free to students trying to complete their degrees.

One Year Free Massachusetts unites students, faculty, business leaders, staff, family, alumni, and community members from across the state to advocate for a high-quality, debt-free public higher education system. Sign up for updates from One Year Free MA today!
