DECATUR, Miss. (AP) - Authorities at East Central Community College say tuition will not increase this year.
College President Billy Stewart tells WTVA-TV (https://bit.ly/1ms6Szu ) the decision to hold tuition at current levels was approved by the college Board of Trustees on May 13.
The action came after the Mississippi Legislature increased funding for community colleges. East Central officials expect enrollment to increase by about 100 students over the next year.
Tuition for in-state students will remain at $990 per semester. Students who reside out of state or out of country will continue to pay an additional $1,050 per semester.
East Central Community College is based in Decatur. Its primary service area includes Winston, Neshoba, Newton, Scott and Leake counties.
