This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of the admissions and financial aid process for 2-year colleges, with a focus on community colleges in Massachusetts. Students and families will learn about the application process including key steps, timelines, and requirements specific to the state.

The session will also cover important aspects of the process such as the difference between open enrollment and selective admissions programs, and what students can expect after submitting their application, including placement testing, orientation, advising, and course registration. Additional topics will include how to choose the right program, understanding transfer pathways to four-year institutions, financial aid, and cost, noting that community college in Massachusetts is tuition and fee-free for MA students who meet residency and academic requirements.

This webinar is ideal for students and families looking to better understand the accessible and flexible opportunities available through community colleges, which continue to accept admissions and financial aid applications throughout the summer for students hoping to enroll in the fall.
