FCC approves 1.7% tuition hike for FCC summer term
Frederick Community College trustees approved a 1.7 percent tuition increase beginning with the summer term as part of a 1997 budget totaling 16.6 million dollars. The plan raises in-county tuition to 65 dollars per credit hour and allocates funds for financial aid, administration, and operations while aiming to boost enrollment by 3 percent. The budget shift reflects reduced state funding from 34 percent in 1990 to 24 percent in 1997, with the college seeking additional county and state support and introducing a deferred payment option for students starting in fall.
