Jersey College: In-state vs. Out-of-State Tuition

Jersey College is a private institution, which means it has the same tuition for students from New Jersey as it does for students who live in other states.

Public schools receive funds from the state to help them cover costs. Public insitutions often offer reduced tuition for students who are residents of that state.

Choosing a college where you are eligible for in-state tuition can drastically reduce the overall cost of college. Be sure to verify your state's requirements for in-state tuition. Every state has its own rules about what makes someone eligible for in-state tuition. In many states, students must have lived in the state for 12 months before starting school to qualify for in-state tuition. There may be additional requirements too, depending on where you live.
