MCLA combines quality liberal arts education and a close-knit community experience
at an accessible cost. See our tuition and fees for the upcoming school year.
You don’t have to be from Massachusetts to qualify for a tuition discount. Find out if you are eligible for a tuition reduction through the New England Board of Higher Education.
Looking for something more personalized? Based on the information you provide, our Net Price Calculator can tell you the price of attendance that students similar to you paid after financial aid.
You are not alone. Our Office of Student Financial Services has resources for all students and can connect you to scholarships, grants, and loans.
When you apply to MCLA, you apply for a merit scholarship at the same time. And if you're interested in external scholarships, we'll connect you with potential resources.
When you complete the FAFSA and MCLA financial aid forms, you are automatically considered for several grants, which is money for your education that you don’t have to pay back.
If you are eligible for a loan program, you can borrow money for your education and pay it back after you graduate. Complete the FAFSA and MCLA financial aid forms to check your eligibility.
