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

Being that SCCC is a community college, it is very affordable and they are always offering some kind of scholarships. I pay about 2200 for a semester's worth of classes, including lab fees, activities fees, and everything else except books. It is also close to where i live, so even though i have to commute, the money i save not having to pay for a housing and meal plan is far greater than the amount that i spend in transportation fees. Also, there are so many free activities, it is definitely worth it.

I can't recommend this school highly enough. If you're looking for individual attention and people who will help you find your way, this is the place.

As a community college, it will definitely save you a lot of money in the long run. I decided to start here to save money while taking all my prerequisites for the Nursing program. Like I stated previously, I find the classes to be at a comfortable size and pace. The cheaper price does not take away from the quality of education you receive! It's a smart idea to take as many classes as you can in a community college that you know will transfer over. If you stay determined and get the best grades you can, you will have a much better chance at transferring to the school of your choice.
