US colleges slash tuition by tens of thousands as families balk at sky-high sticker prices
As a record-low number of Americans believe attending college is crucial for success, colleges across the country are slashing tuition by tens of thousands of dollars — though the eye-popping cuts often won’t translate into equally large savings for families.
The Post identified at least a dozen colleges and universities that have cut or announced cuts to tuition or required program fees this year, with several private schools chopping published undergraduate prices by roughly 40% to more than 50%.
Emory & Henry University in Virginia cut tuition roughly in half to $19,990 this fall, while Arizona’s Prescott College lowered on-campus undergraduate tuition 55.8%, from $33,960 to $15,000.
