With the price of everything so high – from eggs to houses – the thought of adding a college education on top of that is mind-boggling. Currently, the average cost of college in the United States is $38, 270 per year year, including tuition, room and board, books, supplies, etc. That’s a lot.
Fortunately, there’s a bit of help as 15 states offer free college tuition programs with no income requirements. These vary from state-to-state, some are for older learners, some are for two-year community colleges, so it makes sense to investigate each program according to your needs.
The 15 states (with the median list price included) are:
- Arkansas – $296,854
- California – $759,500
- Connecticut – $499,994
- Delaware – $487,450
- Indiana – $290,750
- Kentucky – $299,950
- Louisiana – $276,438
- Maine – $450,000
- Massachusetts – $769,500
- Michigan – $289,950
- Nevada – $495,000
- New Mexico – $399,000
- Rhode Island – $549,950
