Published filing cutoff passedFY27 base guideline gives June 30, 2026.
Last-dollar aid under the current base guidelines. Minimum six credits and additional program conditions apply; amounts depend on the school and other aid.
Catalog decision
Do not advertise new applications as open. Ask the college about any late consideration; keep Expansion separate.
School confirmation requiredNo universal application cutoff found in the reviewed FY27 guideline; campus term dates and funds still apply.
Last-dollar tuition/fee support at Massachusetts public community colleges. FAFSA/MASFA, enrollment, residency/status and other conditions apply; special course exceptions exist.
Catalog decision
Suitable as a conditional program-information lead, not a guaranteed award or individually confirmed eligibility.
Illinois State University’s grants directory and the Illinois Board of Higher Education’s AIM HIGH page passed repeat collection checks. They can supply limited discovery leads. They do not replace all ISAC program details or establish an open application window.
MAP: keep the academic years separate
For 2026–27, ISAC says applications received after April 23, 2026 enter award-announcement suspense — a funding waitlist. That is not a blanket FAFSA closing date. Do not apply that date or an older award amount to 2027–28.
Some college pages retain older amount or eligibility wording. Those fields remain held for current ISAC and college confirmation; they are not promoted into current award records.

OSFA or the college must confirm any late consideration for Massachusetts’ published past cutoffs, the current Expansion guidance, and campus term dates/funds.
ISAC and colleges remain the authority for current MAP amounts, eligibility changes and funding status. Dependable direct ISAC automation is still unresolved.
