In local education, the state board that oversees the Technical College System of Georgia, or T-C-S-G, approved the system’s request for a tuition increase of $10 per credit hour starting next year.

Students at the 25 TCSG colleges will pay $85 per credit hour beginning in the spring 2013 semester. As a result, tuition for a full 15-hour course load will cost $1,275 next semester, or $150 more than last year.

Despite the increase, Middle Georgia Technical College's Marketing and Public Relations Director said its still one of the best values ion the Mid-State.

Three-quarters of TCSG students use HOPE to help pay for their tuition, mostly in the form of the HOPE grant, and with the increase, students who enroll under the HOPE grant will pay $364 in out of pocket tuition for a full load semester, up from $214.
