LINCOLN, Neb. – The Nebraska State College System Board of Trustees last week approved tuition increases for the 2017-18 school year.
Tuition will increase $12 per credit hour, bringing undergraduate resident rates to $172 per credit hour at each college.
The Nebraska State College System initially requested $54.9 million in state support to cover core needs, including increased cost of salaries, health insurance, utilities and other operating expenses and mandatory compliance obligations for 2017-2019. The final amount of state funding approved was $52.1 million, leaving a gap of about $2.8 million. This gap required NSCS to make internal budget cuts and increase tuition, according to a press release from the board.
