Harvard Extension School offers a need-based grant that gives 50% off its tuition during the Spring and Fall, and one free class during the summer. The HES masters programs can be spaced out to last 5 years. If you stretch the program out to take the maximum number of free summer courses, you can get the out of pocket cost down to $15k for the masters degree. Some programs also have enough elective courses to allow you to earn a graduate certificate or two while you complete the master program. I haven't found a hard cut off number for the HES grant, but I've heard of people making 50k per year getting the grant.
