UMass Free Tuition Programs | UMass System UMass Free Tuition Programs All four undergraduate UMass campuses have a pathway to a free UMass education for Massachusetts students who demonstrate the greatest financial need.
In Fall 2025, tuition and mandatory fees at all UMass campuses became fully covered for undergraduate students from households earning $75,000 or less through a combination of federal, state, and university-funded financial aid. The campuses have the tuition and fee-free pledge to remove barriers to college and simplify the cost for students and families with the greatest financial needs.
"These programs are highlighting how truly affordable a UMass degree is, and I applaud our UMass chancellors for their efforts to ensure students and families are aware of that fact,” said UMass President Marty Meehan. “Since 2015, the University of Massachusetts system has made record investments in university-funded aid, boosting it by 80 percent to $422 million annually.
Our record institutional aid combined with the historic expansion of state financial aid through MASSGrant Plus by the Healey-Driscoll Administration and the Legislature, have made it possible for all undergraduate campuses to cover the costs of tuition and mandatory fees for our highest-need students." Over 60% of all financial aid awarded to UMass students comes directly from UMass.
Federal financial aid represented 16 percent of aid in FY2025, followed by state funding at 16 percent and other private funding at 7 percent. “I hope that this announcement makes clear to students and families how affordable a UMass education can be for those with the greatest need, and that’s true at all of our campuses,” President Meehan said in an interview with the Boston Globe .
