Collegeclassroom04

Average tuition fees rose 2% for college students in Tennessee in the 2022-23 school year, according to the latest disclosure from the National Center for Education Statistics.

Data shows that students paid $15,274 on average to attend higher education courses at the time, $300 more than the previous school year.

Among the 128 institutions providing full disclosure in the state, Vanderbilt University stood out with the highest tuition fees, reaching an average of $60,348. Rhodes College followed with an average of $52,310 per year. Tennessee College of Applied Technology-Jackson students were offered the lowest annual tuition fees at $4,008.

Currently there are 131 higher education institutions in Tennessee.

At the time, at least $657.2 million in grants or scholarships were awarded to full-time undergraduates who started college in Tennessee. Additionally, federal student loans reached more than $142.6 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.

Meanwhile, student loan debt has steadily increased over the last 30 years, reaching $1.75 trillion in 2024, averaging a total of $28,950 per borrower. Federal loans make up 92% of the debt, with over half of students at both public and private four-year colleges graduating with student loans.

Of the 131 institutions in Tennessee, three did not provide detailed data on tuition fees, including Pentecostal Theological Seminary, The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, and Meridian Institute of Surgical Assisting.

Available data sometimes exceeds 100% due to rounding and administrative calculations.
