Framingham State Tuition Promise Aims To Make College More Affordable For MA Students

FRAMINGHAM, MA — Framingham State University has announced a new initiative called the Framingham State Tuition Promise, something officials say is a "bold new commitment ensuring that a high-quality public education is within reach for more students across Massachusetts."

Any admitted Massachusetts undergraduate student whose household income is $85,000 or less will pay $0 in tuition and fees to attend Framingham State. This does not include expenses like housing and meals, but additional financial aid is available for those who qualify, officials said.

“Framingham State was founded on the idea that education can change the course of a life,” says President Nancy S. Niemi. “The Framingham State Tuition Promise carries that legacy forward. By removing financial barriers for the families who need us most, we are creating a pathway for students to imagine a future that once felt out of reach.”

To be eligible for the Framingham State Tuition Promise, students must be a Massachusetts residents; have a household income of $85,000 or less, complete the FAFSA; and start full-time in an undergraduate degree program at Framingham State in the spring or fall of 2026.

The Framingham State Tuition Promise is intended to be simple, transparent, and designed for families, officials said.

Students simply submit their admissions application to Framingham State and complete their FAFSA, and they will be notified of their eligibility when they receive their financial aid offer.
