You've heard numerous media reports about the rising costs of a college education and the fact is, they're true.

But there's another truth you need to know, we have the lowest tuition in the state of Iowa. Our tuition is hundreds of dollars less than the state universities and thousands less than the private colleges and technical schools.

It would be easy for us to stop there. After all, if you take a look at the Dare to Compare information at right you can see for yourself that our tuition, less than $3,500 a year, is far less than other institutions.

But, we know that $3,500 is still a lot of money and is a real challenge for many of our students to afford. That's why we go the extra step and offer students a variety of financial aid options and scholarship opportunities.

At Clinton, Muscatine and Scott Community Colleges we believe that you should be able to Fuel Your Mind without the cost getting in the way.
