flag Massachusetts restores need-based college stipends after cuts threatened low-income students' access to essentials.

flag Massachusetts lawmakers restored need-based stipends for community college students after August cuts threatened financial aid for low-income learners. flag The Senate passed a supplemental budget on October 28, 2025, to reinstate book and supply grants, countering reductions that jeopardized access to essentials like textbooks and living costs. flag The move follows rising enrollment—up nearly 39% since 2022—driven by the state’s free community college initiative, though completion and transfer rates remain below national averages. flag Advocates praised the restoration as vital for equity, pending Governor Maura Healey’s approval.
