To combat the rising costs of higher education, OLLU will “lock in” the price of undergraduate tuition for four years, beginning in fall 2024.
OLLU announced the locked-in tuition on Saturday during OLLU Preview Day.
Known as “OLLU 4U,” locked in tuition will provide significant – but uncommon – relief for students. Between 2001 and 2021, tuition and fees rose an average of five percent each year at public, four-year colleges and 3.8 percent at private, four-year colleges, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
“The OLLU 4U program will save our students thousands of dollars across four years,” said OLLU President Abel A. Chávez, MBA, PhD. “We are excited and proud to create an easier path forward for our students that runs counter to national trends.”
OLLU assistant director for admissions Johnny Garcia served as master of ceremonies at Saturday’s event. Pad locks were clicked shut to officially launch the program. Incoming and current students, parents, university staff and Dr. Chávez clicked their locks shut while balloons were released and confetti rained down.
