HOLY CROSS COLLEGE IS FREEZING TUITION RATES 
One of the most difficult aspects about paying for a college education is anticipating yearly tuition increases. Holy Cross College is putting an end to those difficult increases by making a promise of tuition rate continuity for all current and future students. The college has announced that it will guarantee a tuition rate freeze for each new class of students entering the college. What this means in practice is that all students will start and finish with the same tuition rate for as long as they remain continuously enrolled in a four-year degree program.
According to the College Board, the average cost of private four-year college and university tuition in the U.S. rose to $26,273 (up 4.4 percent from last year). In contrast, Holy Cross College's tuition and fees for 2009-2010 of $18,700 is roughly 30 percent lower than the national average for private four-year colleges and universities. It is among the most affordable tuition rate in the nation.
Another dramatic savings for Holy Cross students comes in the time it takes to graduate. Over 90 percent of Holy Cross students who stay enrolled for four years graduate within that time. This is in stark contrast to the national average. According to Graduationwatch.org, only 37 percent of college students graduate in four years or less. Additional years of rising tuition, coupled with living expenses and a lack of full-time employment, make the costs of a long and drawn out college education escalate dramatically.
