Tuition Freeze Continues At New England College

HENNIKER, NH — New England College is extending its tuition freeze to the 2024 to 2025 academic school year.

The board of trustees voted on the proposal which keeps tuition at the college at the 2022 rate. The freeze covers both online and on-campus learners.

Wayne F. Lesperance Jr., the college president, said the school offered students the opportunity to live what they learn and foster success both in and outside the classroom. The freeze, he added, demonstrated the school’s commitment to excellence and attaining a higher education.

“When costs across all areas of life rose sharply over the last few years, NEC recognized the need to extend additional savings to our students,” he said. “We are proud that NEC can extend our tuition freeze into another academic year to help students achieve their goals.”

On-campus students will pay, on average, an annual rate of $12,500 after scholarships and other assistance. Room and board fees are not included in that price. An online bachelor’s degree costs $10,500 annually, on average. Community college students can transfer up to 90 credits toward an NEC degree and are eligible for a flat tuition rate of $10,000 annually.
