Tuition, Cost & Aid

Affordability and Cost

Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.

Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying

Also, in terms of Culinary Arts, my education here is just as good or better than a college where their cost is 30k+ a year. There are plenty of internship opportunities where SCCC kids are recommended for placement first before other schools.

Going to community college is a great way to save money! Although I am having to pay out of state tuition fees, I am still saving loads more money than I would have if I had gone to a four-year university.
