Mercy College Freezes Tuition

Takes Other Steps to Keep Tuition Affordable for Students
In response to the economic challenges facing its students and the region as a whole, Mercy College of Northwest Ohio announced that it has frozen tuition for the 2008/2009 academic year.

This is the first time in the school’s history that tuition has been frozen. “As a mission based educator, we believed it was the right thing for us to do in this economic climate,” said John Hayward, President of Mercy College of Northwest Ohio. “We believe it reflects our overall philosophy of education, which is to put the student and their future first.”

In addition, tuition for the core prerequisite courses of Algebra, Biology, and Chemistry will be reduced to $99 per credit hour and scholarships for first-time college students are being offered. “Taken together, these efforts reflect a strong commitment to providing access to higher education for people in Northwest Ohio, and make Mercy College even more affordable to both new and returning students” says Shelly McCoy Grissom, Associate Dean of Students for Enrollment Services.
