asp) Office of Student Financial Assistance>State Financial Aid Programs> Part-Time Grant Program # Part-Time Grant Program _*The following is a brief description for students. Institutions should refer to the most recent guidelines for information. _ In Massachusetts, as in some other states, the number of part-time students has grown due to changes in demographic and economic conditions.
More adults now find themselves needing to return to the classroom on a less than full-time basis. The continuous increase in college costs is also requiring more students to reconsider their enrollment plans and to look at part-time programs as viable alternatives.
The Commonwealth has recognized the above needs and established the Part-Time Grant Program to serve as a bridge between higher education opportunities and those segments of the Massachusetts population.
To be eligible for a Massachusetts Part-Time Grant, a student must: * Physically reside in Massachusetts for at least one year, as of the start of the enrolled term, with an intent to remain in Massachusetts consistent with Board of Higher Education policy; and * Have approved eligibility status as a “High School Completer,”1 per the Massachusetts tuition equity law,2 or be a U.S. Citizen, permanent legal resident, or non-citizen eligible under Title IV regulations.
* Have applied for financial aid, using the standard Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or a FAFSA equivalent application authorized by the Department of Higher Education. * Not be in default of any federal or state Student Loans for attendance at any institution or owe a refund for any previous financial aid received.
* Be enrolled for at least six (or the equivalent) but fewer than 12 undergraduate credits per academic term in an eligible undergraduate degree program or eligible certificate program. * Not have received a prior bachelor’s degree or professional degree or their equivalent. * Be maintaining satisfactory academic progress in accordance with institutional and federal standards.
* Demonstrate financial aid need as determined by the federal methodology need analysis criteria. [](https://www. mass.

FAR 52.222-90 must be flowed into existing contracts by December 31, 2026. And under EO 14282, certification of Section 117 foreign gift compliance is now expressly material to False Claims Act liability and to receiving federal grant funds at all. Here is the full stack, the dates, and what a defensible file looks like.
Read articleFederal appropriators added $15 billion in new Pell Grant funding to the FY 2026 appropriations package on top of the standard appropriation level — a response to a structural shortfall that CBO scored at $5.4 billion in FY 2026 and $11.5 billion in FY 2027. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget projects a cumulative gap of $61 billion to $97 billion through 2035 even after the one-time fix. Meanwhile, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act expanded eligibility to short-term Workforce Pell programs, adding $2 to $6 billion in new costs. The Pell program is the foundation of need-based federal student aid, but the structural mismatch between rising costs and appropriations is a permanent feature now. Here is what that means for institutions, foundations, and state higher-ed agencies.
