The Block Plan makes this possible, facilitating deep faculty-student   relationships, year-round research, immersive fieldwork, and civic engagement opportunities. These high-impact practices help students develop adaptability, leadership, and constructive communication \u2014 crucial skills in high demand across industries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0;margin-bottom:16px\">Small class sizes enable mentorship from faculty with the highest degrees in their fields \u2014 world-class educators who come to CC specifically to teach on the Block. Meanwhile, access to the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center   at Colorado College, a thriving athletics culture, and Block Break adventures extend learning beyond the classroom. Holistic advising, tutoring, and health and wellness resources are built into the CC experience to ensure students are supported along the way.   At graduation, they are well prepared for the world that awaits, thanks to career-aligned curriculum, paid internships, career services, and the connections of a thriving alumni network.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0;margin-bottom:16px\">Providing this elevated educational experience requires considerable resources. Tuition and fees \u2014 along with earnings from our endowment and philanthropic support \u2014 help sustain the infrastructure and people that bring   it all to life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0;margin-bottom:16px\">We know a CC education is a significant investment, and any increase in cost can present a hardship to students and their families. This is why CC is one of only 70 institutions nationwide that meets 100% of demonstrated   financial need for all admitted students with a combination of scholarships, student loans, and work-study options \u2014 distributing more than $60 million per year in financial aid.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0;margin-bottom:16px\">Each year, the faculty, staff, and students on our Campus Budget Committee (CBC) develop a budget recommendation for the president and the Board of Trustees. I would like to thank the CBC for their thoughtful and comprehensive   approach over several months, taking into account both the market in which we operate and our institutional priorities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0;margin-bottom:16px\"><strong>For the 2025-26 academic year, the CBC recommended the trustees set tuition at $73,038<\/strong>,<strong> and the<\/strong>  <strong>comprehensive fee (inclusive of tuition, room, board, and mandatory student fees) at $90,230<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0;margin-bottom:16px\">This is a 4.01% total increase from 2024-25. I supported the CBC\u2019s recommendation, and the Board of Trustees approved the tuition and comprehensive fee changes last week.

We are reclaiming our space in the higher ed market, ensuring the world recognizes the liberal arts&#8217; role   in shaping engaged, informed citizens. At the same time, we are reducing our reliance on tuition by streamlining operations, building our philanthropic pipeline, and maximizing non-tuition revenue streams like Ed Robson Arena and the Fine Arts Center. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0;margin-bottom:16px\">Most importantly, we are committed to upholding the value of a CC education as a life-changing investment \u2014 one that combines academic excellence, career preparation, and personal growth.
