Oregon high school or GED students graduating in 2023 or 2024 can take one tuition-free course this spring or summer from Lane Community College, the college announced in a news release.

“That’s a $530 savings for a four-credit course,” explained Lane Community College Advisor Brenda Williams. Fees and other expenses are not included in the offer.

Registration for new students wanting to begin in spring term starts February 20 and early May for summer term. Any course for college credit is eligible as long as the student meets the prerequisites. Registration must be completed by April 10 for spring term and by September 16 for summer courses.

This initiative started in 2020 with almost 400 high school students starting their college career early since its debut. Last summer, students saved at least $63,600 in tuition costs.
