As much as everyone is hoping to get into a university, skyrocketing tuition fees prove to be a hindrance in achieving that dream. But there are many colleges and universities across the country with the exemption of Ivy League schools which provide very affordable school fees and tuition to help those who want to earn a degree and finish their tertiary education.




















Public universities or state-run schools are among the many institutions with very low fees in order to accumulate as much students as possible. You can get some cheapest colleges here. One good example of this is the Brazosport College which was founded in 1968 in Lake Jackson, Texas. Tuition is at $1,692 a year. It encompasses the areas of Brazosport, Damon, Sweeny, some portion of the Angleton Independent School District and the Columbia-Brazoria district. Another public college in Parkersburg, West Virginia is among the top 10 schools in the country with minimum tuition fees.

One of the largest public schools in the entire country occupying the top 5 rank, this institution have over 4,300 students and is also considered as the largest public college in West Virginia offering a tuition of $2,076 annually.



Founded in 1933, Palm Beach State College underwent several name changes.

Its main campus is located in Lake Worth, Florida with several other facilities in Belle Glade, Boca Raton and Palm Beach Gardens. Tuition fees are at $2,158 a year. Also in the state of Florida, the Pensacola State College offers a very minimal tuition rate for interested students - $2,179 annually. The institution was founded in 1948 and was named as the Pensacola Junior College. The school was the pioneer of higher education in the area. It also holds quite a number of campuses spread out in the downtown area, Milton, Warrington as well as on the Naval Air Station Pensacola. Located in Orlando, Florida another public educational institution –the University of Central Florida established the College of Arts and Humanities in 2005 apart from the existing College of Sciences existing in the university. This is another potential low fees school which only charges $2,190 a year.

Aside from the many state colleges offering low tuition fees to its students, tribal colleges or universities actually holds the top three spot for having the most affordable tuition fees  in the entire U.S. Ranked third is Sitting Bull College located in Fort Yates, North Dakota with an annual tuition of only $939 a year.
