Financial Aid

Will students enrolling through the Division of Graduate and Continuing Education (DGCE) be afforded benefits of the Joint Admissions and Tuition Advantage Programs (TAP)?

At Westfield State University, DGCE is not funded by the Commonwealth; therefore, DGCE cannot use state resources to fund Joint Admissions application fee waivers or the TAP tuition reduction.

However, DGCE will honor the intention of the Joint Admissions program by guaranteeing admission to qualified students who complete their application files by each semester?s priority filing date. Additionally, the fee structure (see expenses below) gives the equivalent of the TAP benefit for students attending full-time. The application fee is waived for applicants who have completed any MA community college associate?s degree by their planned enrollment date.
