The university is lowering tuition by $13,000 a year.
HICKORY, N.C. - If you’ve priced college tuition lately, you know it can be expensive, even out of reach for some families.
Lenoir-Rhyne University announced this week it is looking at helping students by lowering its tuition by $13,000 a year. “A lot of really good students weren’t even looking at us because they were very price conscious,” said Lenoir-Rhyne University President Fred Whitt.reports the university’s $40,000 tuition could be knocked down to about $6,000 a year for those who qualify for certain scholarships based on their grades.
“It’s going to make it such an amazing experience to have some cost relief while continuing my education,” said Lenoir-Rhyne University sophomore Andrea Quijas.“Given the concern about inflation, student debt, the rising cost of living, we wanted to be sensitive to that particularly since we’re in a position of strength,” Whitt said.“I feel it’s going to be great for the community to see that smaller sticker price,” said senior Caroline Black.Copyright 2022 WBTV via Gray Media Group, Inc.
