Wednesday, Sept. 12, the Office of the President announced Elizabethtown College’s new tuition transparency plan, set to begin during the 2019-2020 academic year.

Under this new financial program, the College announced in a campuswide event plans to reduce incoming first-year students’ tuition by 32 percent, making the “sticker price” of the College drop to $32,000. According to an email sent to the campus community Wednesday afternoon, this new plan will additionally affect the current financial aid and scholarship structure awarded annually to students.

However, since the tuition transparency plan will not be implemented until the next academic school year, current students’ financial aid packages and awards will not be affected by the decrease for the 2018-2019 school year.

More information and details about the College’s tuition transparency plan can be found in next week’s issue of The Etownian.
