The MassEducate and MassReconnect programs allow all Massachusetts residents who have not yet earned a bachelor’s degree to attend RCC for free. No tuition. No fees. And both programs include an allowance for books and supplies for certain students. Boston residents may also qualify for the Tuition-Free Community College program.
If you do not qualify for a tuition-free program, don't worry! RCC is proud to offer a variety of financial assistance programs, including scholarships provided through the Roxbury Community College Foundation (RCCF).

We are pleased to offer scholarships to qualified RCC students. Most scholarships are funded through the Roxbury Community College Foundation (RCCF), made possible by donations from public and private entities. Some scholarships are offered directly to RCC students by local non-profit organizations and charities.
Many RCC students qualify for scholarships. Unlike federal financial aid, scholarships are available to students regardless of immigration or enrollment status.

In addition to the financial assistance programs detailed above, there are many financial resources available to RCC students. We know that keeping tuition and fees low isn’t enough – there are other expenses, like transportation and childcare, that can quickly add up. Don’t worry. We’re committed to making sure that every student can afford an RCC education.
