Average tuition fees rose 3.2% for college students in Connecticut in the 2022-23 school year, according to the latest disclosure from the National Center for Education Statistics.

Data shows that students paid $31,299 on average to attend higher education courses at the time, $958 more than the previous school year.

At the time, at least $462.3 million in grants or scholarships were awarded to full-time undergraduates who started college in Connecticut. Additionally, federal student loans reached more than $137.5 million.

Undergraduate education costs have seen a significant increase over the past few decades. Data shows a 169% rise in the average total cost, including tuition, fees, room, and board, between 1980 and 2020.

According to a 2023 College Board report, in-state students at public universities paid an average of $11,260, while out-of-state students paid $29,150 in the 2023-24 academic year.
