LYNN — The North Shore Community College Board of Trustees voted unanimously Tuesday night to retain tuition and fees at fiscal year 2021 levels for FY22.
“Given the COVID challenges our students have faced and continue to face, and the implications on their academics, families and work, adding an additional burden of increased fees would make it increasingly difficult to meet their educational goals,” said Interim President Nate Bryant. “At this time, NSCC is in a financial position where an increase in tuition and fees is not warranted.”
Full-time tuition at NSCC is $6,690 for two semesters, which includes tuition and general fees.
NSCC has disbursed $2,534,732 to students in COVID-related funding.
“While NSCC and other public higher education institutions face revenue shortages due to pandemic-related financial challenges, we need to do everything within our power to ensure high quality education is within financial reach of our students, and that they can retain and complete their academic goals,” Bryant said.
