Bookstore Allowances are now available to eligible students for the Spring 2025 semester. Check your QCC student email and/or review your Course and Fee statement online to determine if one has been created for you. If you have not yet been awarded financial aid and have a complete file, you may complete a Bookstore Allowance Request Form to ask for a review of your eligibility.
Have you heard about free community college through MassEducate and MassReconnect? Effective Fall 2024, eligible MA residents can apply for financial aid and receive grant funding to cover their tuition and required fees. Many students will also qualify for an allowance for books and supplies! The first step is to submit your FAFSA! Be sure you select the correct year for your FAFSA (use the 2024-2025 application for Fall 2024, Spring 2025, and Summer 2025). Enrolled student FAQs for these programs are available under Financial Aid Links.
File your 2024-2025 FAFSA - it is not too late! Once you have submitted your FAFSA, be sure to check your file on The Q. Please respond quickly to any requests for additional information.
The 2025-2026 FAFSA is now available! Complete this application for financial aid for the Fall 2025 semester.
Fall 2024 refund checks are generated weekly. Funds will be disbursed to student accounts as they are received from the federal and state government and eligibility is confirmed. Some funds may not disburse until later in the semester. Refund checks are created when the funds disbursed to the student's account exceed the tuition and fees charged. Spring 2025 refund checks will be available beginning in early to mid-March.
Free FAFSA appointments are available at the QCC Financial Aid Help Center and MassEdCO, if you need assistance.
