(KLZA)-- For the second straight year, the Board of Trustees of the Nebraska State Colleges froze tuition at the Chadron State, Peru State, and Wayne State Colleges for the 2022-23 Academic Year.
The Board also reduced the non-resident undergraduate tuition rate to match the resident rate in an effort to encourage out-of-state students to attend a State College in the hopes of further addressing Nebraska’s workforce shortage.
The tuition freeze applies to undergraduate and graduate; resident and non-resident students; and online rates. The State Colleges are able to keep the same rates due to the support of the Governor and Legislature.
Dr. Paul Turman, Chancellor of the Nebraska State College System (NSCS) said that affordability is one of the State Colleges’ highest priorities as we work to increase degree attainment in Nebraska.
