TUITION FREE DAY
Tuition-Free Day is a symbolic day chosen to represent the point in the academic year when
tuition "runs out" and the LaGrange College community steps in to cover the actual cost of a
LaGrange education. Tuition covers only about 75.7 percent of the actual cost of educating
each student. That’s about $31,204 over the course of four years that you do not have to pay
to go to school!
This year, more than 1,300 LC alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students and friends will give to
the College ... all for YOU!
If that doesn’t sound like a lot, here are some examples of what you can buy for $31,204:
20,802 12 oz. cans of Coke•
24,963 12 oz. bottles of water•
