NEW ENGLAND, a region of six unique states, is a global powerhouse when it comes to higher education institutions and opportunities. Students and leaders from around the world come here for learning, innovation, and expertise—including over 60,000 international students and scholars.
Why do they come? It is the diversity of New England’s 250-plus campuses—public and private, two-year and four-year, religious and secular, professional and liberal arts—that makes the region a world-class destination. It is also the excellent students and scholars that our colleges attract and that create one of the richest learning environments to be found anywhere on the globe.
At New England colleges and universities, there is something for everyone at every point along the continuum of lifelong learning. Our institutions prepare students for occupations that may not have existed when those students �rst arrived on campus. Institutions also conduct cutting-edge research that results in new companies and industries that transform their surrounding communities and beyond.
From traditional, �rst-time freshmen to working adults and commuter students, New England colleges and universities educate nearly a million students annually, sending them forth as teachers, engineers, scientists, healthcare providers, technicians,
entrepreneurs, poets, and technologists.New England’s higher education in�uence is not constrained by geographic borders. Students from every corner of the world access courses and degree programs 24/7 from New England colleges via the ever-expanding online learning opportunities. �e increased availability of �exible learning models that expand beyond the traditional classroom means more choices for students. More than ever before, there is a college for everyone.
�is Guide is designed to help �nd the right one for you—independent of your age, background or starting point. It helps students and families make informed choices and provides a wide array of key data on the region’s colleges, such as acceptance rates; application deadlines; prices; availability of on-campus housing and childcare; student-faculty ratios; and the percentage of students who are international or of minority background. �e Guide also indicates whether campuses o�er online degree or weekend programs and accept credit for prior learning.
Collaboration and innovation are the primary roles of the New England Board of Higher Education. Created in 1955, NEBHE’s mission is to expand, through interstate cooperation, the education opportunities and services available to the region’s residents, with a focus on college a�ordability, access, and success.
A prime example is NEBHE’s “Tuition Break” program, which provides a discount on the out-of-state tuition students pay at public colleges and universities in the other New England states when they pursue more than 800 specialized academic degree programs, many of them in high-demand career areas.
About 9,000 students take advantage of this program every year, saving $7,900 on average each year on their tuition bills. In 2015, students and families saved $58 million on tuition!
Since it was established in 1957, Tuition Break has provided New England students and families with over $1 billion in savings. �e six states have saved untold millions of dollars by avoiding duplication of programs already available in other New England states. Learn more about the program in this Guide (and look for the Tuition Break logo in the college listings). Also, visit our website at nebhe.org/tuitionbreak.
NEBHE thanks Boston magazine for the opportunity to work together to produce the 2017 Guide. We trust it will be a valuable resource in connecting you with the region’s diverse colleges—opening doors for continued learning, degree attainment, career advancement, and intellectual enrichment.

THE HORIZON IS ALWAYS CHANGING in terms of which �elds are hot and which are not. Good career path decisions begin by asking questions about your major, so it’s important for college-bound students and those already entrenched in higher education to navigate the process with patience and curiosity.
“Selecting a college major shouldn’t feel like a life sentence to a career. It’s the beginning of a student’s post-secondary education and career exploration,” says Ti�any Currie, Coordinator of College, Careers, and External Learning Opportunities at Revere High School. High school students should meet with an advisor, teacher, or mentor to help them identify academic skills and interests, and research di�erent career paths.
Here’s what to consider when choosing a college major:
While the de�nition of “trend” suggests a �eeting moment, trends are great indications of where industries are headed. You’ll need to investigate the fastest growing occupations throughout the country, as you decide whether your main interests lie within these hot sectors. Just as it’s important to know where things are revving up, you should also consider what areas are slowing down. Certain lines of work are becoming less necessary as our world changes.
“Families can do footwork in researching growth and decline in various careers,” says Linda L. Buckley, Lead College Counselor at Arlington High School. “For example, trends show growth in the STEM �elds such as health, engineering, computer so�ware, mathematics, and science research.” She also notes decline in some hands-on careers, such as woodworking, leatherwork, and textiles. “In the end, what could be better than landing a job a young person loves and where he or she can earn a good living?”
Currie suggests exploring the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics to find the estimated future growth of certain fields of work in the next five to 10 years. Other resources for job paths and industry variables include careeronestop.org, vault.com, naviance.com, glassdoor.com, andbuzz�le.com.
Just as hot trends can be exciting, your course work should also keep you on your toes. If you don’t like what you’re doing in class, chances are it won’t keep your attention for a career’s lifespan. “If a student doesn’t enjoy what they’re studying, they’ll lose interest in that subject and hurt their job prospects in the long run or �nd themselves in a job
they don’t like very much,” explains Joseph Du Pont, Esq., Associate Vice President for Student A�airs/Career Services at Boston College Career Center. It’s always a good idea to check out di�erent courses to see what they entail and whether your interest is held.
Once you’ve narrowed down majors, consider testing the waters with an internship. “[Students] who have the opportunity to do an internship or conduct informational interviews in a speci�c �eld of interest will learn more about a career before declaring a major,” adds Currie.
Remember that some life skills learned translate through all industries, no matter your major. “Does the course work in that major help you cultivate the professional competencies that employers want, such as communication skills, team work, leadership, creativity, problem solving, and a global perspective? In an economy where employers need students to hit the ground running, they want you to have these skills at the outset,” Du Pont notes. “�ese skills endure and will be bene�cial to you over the course of your professional life.”
Once you see where the growth is and where your passion lies, you’ll put yourself on the road to success.

THERE IS NO MAGIC FORMULA for choosing a college, but there are steps you can take to find a good fit.
While dropping admission rates and perceptions of randomness in the selection process can dominate the headlines, the fact is the deck is actually stacked in the students’ favor, according to David Lyons, Director of College Counseling at The Rivers School in Weston. “There are literally thousands of colleges in the U.S., and the vast majority are looking for reasons to accept students,” he says.
“I tell my students that only they can determine what is ‘right’ for them,” says Needham High School Counselor Will Grannan. “There’s a lot of great advice and wisdom out there, but it is always filtered through someone else’s perspective, desires, history, and identity. We counselors are supports and guides, but the student takes ownership of the search process.”
Here are expert tips to get you through the process of choosing the right school:
IDENTIFY YOUR CRITERIAAre you someone who feels comfortable in crowds or do you prefer learning in a more intimate setting? Do you want a school near home? Do you care if your college has a football team or Greek life? “We ask our students dozens of questions to help them identify their wish list for a college,” says Lyons. This must-have inventory can provide direction early in the process. Make a visual record of pros and cons for each school as you think about your priorities.
KEEP AN OPEN MINDMaybe you associate college with big city life or perhaps you envision a grassy quad and tree-lined streets. “Many students
RIGHT SCHOOLenter the process with a preconceived notion of what college will be for them. College searchers should do their best to challenge their vision,” Lyons adds. Translation: Think outside the campus you had in mind. If you’re seeking a rural environment, check out a city school. This will either solidify your original choice or put you on a different path.
BE MONEY MINDFUL“Think about cost and value, and have that conversation with your parents early in the process,” says Davin Bergquist, Director of College Counseling at The Cambridge School of Weston. “College is very expensive, and you should all be on the same page. Doing so will help you get the best-fit education possible with the resources you have.” This could even mean going to a state school when you always thought a private institution was for you. “Some of the highest quality educations in America are offered at public institutions, many times at fractions of the private price tags,” he adds.
THINK ABOUT REACH, REALITY AND SAFETYLinda L. Buckley, Lead College Counselor at Arlington High School, suggests having a list of schools that are: a slight reach as far as grades and test scores are concerned (but you would love to attend); realistic (you meet all qualifying criteria); and where you have slightly higher qualifying scores than average. “This gives students and families the assurance that they have all their bases covered,” she adds.
“While the process can be stressful, most students end up doing well and enroll at a college that’s a fabulous �t,” says Bergquist. “�at’s your end game. �at ‘�t’ is someplace that will leave the application process in the rearview mirror and allow you to enjoy your next big adventure with verve, authenticity, and excitement.”

A COLLEGE’S STICKER PRICE doesn’t re�ect what most students and families pay for college. �e good news is that the out-of-pocket cost is usually much lower, a�er �nancial aid has been awarded. Colleges post their typical “net price” on their websites.
In fact, �nancial aid can help o�set the entire cost of attending college—not only the “direct” costs of tuition, fees, and campus-based room and board, but also the estimated “indirect” costs of attending college, including books, supplies, transportation, and personal expenses.
FINANCIAL AID VARIES BY TYPE AND SOURCEFinancial aid is either “gi� aid” in the form of scholarships and grants, or loans that are usually low-interest, but must be repaid (except in some special cases if they have provisions for forgiveness).
Scholarships and grants may be awarded based on �nancial need and/or merit (student’s academic and personal achievement), and also may take into account the student’s intended program of study, religious a�liation, ethnicity, memberships, hobbies, or special interests.
Financial aid is provided by four basic sources: the federal government, state government, colleges and universities, and the private sector (such as foundations, corporations, and banks).
HOW TO APPLYFirst, �nd out what the �nancial aid application requirements and deadlines are for the colleges where you’re applying. Also check on the application deadlines for your state’s �nancial aid programs by visiting fafsa.gov/deadlines.htm. Be sure to complete all the applications on time or earlier.
Many colleges, as well as state and private aid providers, use data based on the FAFSA (the federal government’s Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to determine a student’s eligibility. Some colleges use the College Board’s “Pro�le” application for awarding nonfederal aid. Visit student.collegeboard.org/css-�nancial-aid-pro�lefor the application as well as a list of participating colleges and scholarship programs.
�e FAFSA has a new application procedure starting with the 2017-2018 academic year. Students and families should �le it as soon as possible a�er October 1 to receive aid for the following academic year. Also, the FAFSA is now based on the “prior-prior” year’s income. For example, the 2017-2018 FAFSA is based on 2015 income. Note: �e IRS Data Retrieval Tool (IRS DRT) can automatically import tax information into the FAFSA. Learn more at studentaid.gov/irsdrt.
A new FAFSA must be submitted for every year of enrollment in college. Students and families �le for free and do not need to pay a service for �ling. �e FAFSA is �led online at studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa.

Conduct scholarship searches on websites such as fastweb.com or bigfuture.collegeboard.org/scholarship-search.or bigfuture.collegeboard.org/scholarship-search.or
WHAT’S IN A COLLEGE’S FINANCIAL AID AWARD?�e college takes into account the estimated total cost of attendance and the student’s �nancial need (which is calculated based on the completed �nancial aid applications and any other required documentation used by the college). �e college may also take into account the student’s quali�cation for a merit-based award.
�e college o�ers an eligible student a �nancial aid package, which may be a combination of scholarships (based on need and/or merit) funded by the college or state; federal or state grants; low-interest federal loans (for the student and/or the parent); and federal Work-Study funds (a program that allows a student to earn up to a speci�ed amount).
Financial aid awards vary from college to college. A college may be willing to improve their award, especially if there are unusual family circumstances, which are not re�ected in the standard applications.
OTHER WAYS TO MEET COLLEGE COSTS• Use a tuition payment plan if o�ered by the college.• Participate in community service and earn education
awards. Visit americorps.gov or americorps.gov or americorps.gov cityyear.org.• Attend a lower-cost two-year community college, then
transfer to a four-year college to earn a bachelor’s degree. In some cases, transfer students are eligible for special discounts. Example: Massachusetts’ Commonwealth Commitment. Visit mass.edu/masstransfer/macomcom/home.asp.
• Commute to college from home instead of living on campus. • Work for a company or organization that provides tuition
assistance. • Consider the college �nancing options available through
the U.S. Department of Defense. Visit myfuture.com.• Start saving early with a “529 plan,” a tax-advantaged
college investing and savings plan, in accordance with IRS Section 529. Visit collegesavings.org.

YOUR CHILD IS OFF TO COLLEGE and you are hoping for some �nancial aid to get you through these very expensive years. �ere’s the basic FAFSA form—and then what? Can your child qualify for any academic merit scholarships? How do you �nd out? Here are some tips from �nancial aid department heads at area institutions.
According to Ryan Forsythe, Vice President for Enrollment Management at Worcester State University, “First, understand that at almost all state universities around the country, the amount of non-federal and state �nancial aid is extremely limited. At Worcester State, we o�er limited �nancial aid beyond this. We rely heavily on the FAFSA to provide �nancial aid application information, and we use that to determine students’ eligibility for federal and state types of �nancial aid.”
Bentley University in Waltham requires the College Scholarship Service (CSS) Pro�le in addition to the FAFSA. Donna Kendall, Associate Vice President of Enrollment Management, explains that, “Many private institutions, with a lot of their own institutional funds to award, require the CSS Pro�le as it uses a di�erent need analysis approach.”
Only the FAFSA form is required for need-based aid at UMass Lowell. “All incoming students are automatically evaluated for most merit scholarships based on their admissions application and academic performance,” says Joyce McLaughlin, Associate Dean of Enrollment and Financial Aid. “We urge students to apply through our Early Action Admissions Process, as the majority of merit scholarships are awarded to this class.”
All three institutions concur that students’ information on admissions applications does a�ect their eligibility for merit-based scholarships. �e information used is almost exclusively based on a student’s high school or college transfer GPAs, and for students with standardized test scores, it’s based on SAT or ACT scores.
“We encourage students to stay in close touch with every one of the college �nancial aid o�ces the student is applying to, because the information each college requires can be di�erent,” says Forsythe. He also reiterates that there is no such thing as staying in touch too closely. “We o�en have in-person phone conversations, but some families are more comfortable with email. If someone calls every week, that’s okay, too. Either way is �ne. Most �nancial aid o�ces are willing to have those conversations.”

“Don’t have sticker shock by the total price of what these four years are going to cost,” implores Kendall. “Since approximately 65 percent of Bentley students are awarded some amount of gi� aid, meaning they don’t have to pay it back, most families should think about what their costs will be a�er �nancial aid. Of course, there are other factors—like graduation rates, placement rates, and starting salaries to consider when �guring out the total bene�t to your student. It’s what we call your ROI factor: what’s the return on your investment for your child?”
Twenty-two percent of UMass Lowell incoming freshmen receive merit awards, while approximately 77 percent apply for �nancial aid. Most merit scholarships are renewable every four years. “Plus,” McLaughlin says, “about 250 scholarships from outside sources are listed on uml.edu. In addition, we have over 400 university endowed scholarships listed on the website. Additionally, our Co-Op Scholars Program allows students to work with a faculty member on a research learning experience for a stipend of $4,000.”
�e bottom line is, you must be sure of what each school your student is applying to requires, and make sure the proper documents are submitted. Each of these department heads encourage families to not hesitate to call or meet with a �nancial aid o�ce representative—as o�en as necessary—so you can take advantage of all the gi� aid available to your student. �ere is more available than you think.
