Boston Bridge
Governor Charlie Baker and Mayor Martin Walsh are teaming up to make college more affordable than ever before for Boston students. The Boston Bridge, a collaboration between the city’s Tuition-Free Community College Plan and the state’s Commonwealth Commitment program, allows students to earn their associate and bachelor’s degrees, free of tuition and mandatory fees. The Boston Bridge is a pilot program – meaning it may be a limited-time offer – so take advantage while you can!
