WCC offers the lowest community college tuition rate in Michigan. We don’t believe that finances should be a barrier to education. That’s why Advance Ypsi students are provided with 1:1 guidance to find – and apply for – the financial assistance you need to accomplish your educational goals.
If you’re a high school student, it’s likely your school district will pay for your WCC tuition as a dual enrollment student. If you’re an adult learner, we have scholarship options that can help you earn your degree tuition-free.
Just do it. I know it’s cliché, but the college is willing and wanting to help and often has resources that are under-utilized. WCC wants to help you get what you need to continue your education to the finish line.
