Highland
has the lowest tuition in the tri-state region.
You
will spend about $3,200 a year for tuition, books
and fees when you start at Highland...
or
you can go somewhere else and
pay at least $7,000 a year for tuition alone.
Attending
Highland will save you several thousand dollars in college costs
alone. And last year Highland also gave away over $350,000 dollars
in scholarships, financial aid, and grants. We're making going to
college even easier for our students.
