Dear Friends,
Community colleges are many things, but most importantly, community colleges create
access and possibilities. Community colleges make higher education and life-long
learning accessible by offering flexible schedules at a myriad of locations, allowing
degree seeking students to gain general education credits that are transferable to four
year colleges and universities, providing enrichment and professional development
opportunities for adults, offering technical workforce development programs, and
perhaps most importantly, they are affordable. For example, tuition at the College of
Southern Idaho is $115 per credit and for those who need assistance, financial aid is
also available in the form of Pell Grants, scholarships and when necessary, student loans.
This means that tuition for a full-time student (taking 12 credits) is $1,380 per semester,
or $2,760 per year. Compared to tuition at 4 year in-state universities where the average
annual tuition is $6,660, the cost savings is almost $4,000 annually. This savings makes
a significant difference for many students and their families.
According to the College Board more than 40 percent of U.S. undergraduate students
attend community colleges and this number is expected to grow in coming years
because of many of the reason listed above. At community colleges the variety of
possibilities for career, academic and personal development are almost endless. Here
in the Wood River Valley, CSI’s Blaine County Center provides our community with a
large variety of educational opportunities, many of which are made possible through
partnerships created with local organizations including Blaine County School District,
St. Luke’s Wood River Foundation, Blaine County Education Foundation, the Advocates,
the Hunger Coalition, the Croy Canyon Ranch Foundation, and Wood River Women’s
Charitable Foundation. Partnerships like these connect people, provide financial
support, and build a stronger more inclusive community. I want to personally thank
all the organizations and people who help make access to higher education in the
Wood River Valley a reality. We couldn’t do it without you, and by working together,
the possibilities for our community are endless.
Hallie Star, M.A.
