GOT COLLEGE?
Published tuition and fee charges at four-year public colleges averaged $5,836 a year in 2006-2007 and published tuition and fee charges at four-year private colleges averaged $22,218 a year in 2006-07* . A good rule of thumb is that college tuition rates will increase at about twice the general inflation rate. On average, college tuition tends to increase about 8% per year. An 8% college inflation rate means that the cost of college doubles every nine years. What does this mean to you? Well it’s simple really. Beginning in the 7th grade, for every year one attends the academy for a maximum of 4 years and graduates from the academy, they will receive the equivalent years in FREE tuition at Tennessee Temple University provided you graduate from TTA. At TTU’s current posted tuition rates of $8,870 for 2007**, that would have been a potential savings to you and your family of $35,000 in 2007 or it could be a potential $70,000 in 2016; nine years from now. Now I’m no rocket scientist, but anyone can see that paying $16,000 for 4 years of Academy tuition is a whole lot less than $35,000 to $70,000 for university tuition. No matter how you approach it, TTA is the right financial choice today for your child’s secondary education.
