MEFA works with employers across the Commonwealth to help their employees prepare for the costs of higher education. While some employees need advice on debt management, and options for graduate school, others want to learn how to save for college and apply for financial aid and scholarships. MEFA provides free seminars for employees and distributes college financing information through human resources departments. MEFA seminars are always free of charge.
