Community colleges seek boosts amid rising costs
Community colleges plan higher per course costs to offset state funding gaps. Enrollment for fall is up slightly from last year while Garden City Community College raises fees to 21 dollars from 19, keeping tuition at 37 per credit hour. Most students originate from Finney County and nearby Kansas counties, with about half of Garden City High School graduates enrolling at GCCC. State legislators allotted 706 million for higher education for 2004 05, only modestly more than 2001 02, prompting continued scrutiny of college affordability and future costs.
