91�����

To help ease the financial burden that the coronavirus and its attendant lockdowns have inflicted on students and their families, the 91����� has voted to freeze the cost of tuition and room & board for the 2021-2022 academic year.

�The COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing governmental countermeasures have rendered the global economy highly volatile,� says President Michael F. McLean. �By helping to keep our students� education costs stable, we hope to do our part to support their families, many of whom are suffering from unemployment or reduced income during these difficult times.�

Tuition at both the California and New England campuses will remain at $26,000, and room & board fees at $9,400. Thus the total cost of attendance, including books and all fees, will be $35,400 � well below the of $53,102 for private, nonprofit institutions.

�We are deeply grateful to the College�s benefactors, whose generosity allows us to subsidize our tuition rate, thereby putting the cost of education within reach of many more families,� says Dr. McLean. �And for those families who need further assistance, our benefactors also make possible our robust financial-aid program, through which all qualified students � regardless of their financial status � can access the blessing of a Catholic liberal education.�

In the last few months, both U.S. News & World Report and the Washington Monthly have praised 91����� Aquinas College for its commitment to social mobility, or making a college education attainable to families of limited means. The Princeton Review named the College as one of only 20 on its list of �Great Financial Aid� schools, and Kiplinger has ranked it at the top of its list for �Best Value College� in the country.

�By God�s grace and through the sacrifices of many, we are able to maintain our founders� commitment to affordability, even during difficult times,� says Dr. McLean. �We ask all to continue to pray for the College and for our nation as we look to overcome this pandemic.�
