WHITE PLAINS – Tuition at SUNY Westchester in the new academic year will be the same as last year with full-time tuition at $4,730.
The college operating budget includes an increase in county sponsor support, which is significant since the college budget relies increasingly and predominantly on student tuition, county officials said.
“Every dollar counts. In Westchester County, we are working hard to combat rising costs by funding new and innovative ways to provide relief,” said County Executive George Latimer. “This news, coupled with the county’s additional support to SUNY WCC, is another way we are looking to lessen the burden on taxpayers and help all of us thrive in our home community.”
“If rising prices on everyday purchases are already significantly influencing consumer behavior, imagine what a tuition increase would mean? It means postponing graduation and delaying one’s higher income earning potential,” said Board of Legislators Chairwoman Catherine Borgia. “The board recognizes the role that SUNY WCCC plays in providing upward mobility to students who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford a college education. Those students deserve support and access now more than ever.”
