Massachusetts SMART Program

The Massachusetts SMART (Student and Military Assistance Rewards Tuition) Program offers eligible students and military personnel financial aid for higher education. It provides tuition assistance by reimbursing a portion of their public college or university expenses through a state-funded grant. Participants must meet specific residency, income, and enrollment requirements, and the program aims to make college more affordable and accessible for Massachusetts residents and active military members. In essence, it helps reduce the cost of education by offering financial support to those who qualify, encouraging continued learning and service.
