CCBC president highlights 'Attend CCBC Tuition Free' program at county budget town hall
Summary
Dr. Curt Nitis, president of the Community College of Baltimore County, told attendees that most Baltimore County residents who attend CCBC in the prior year did so tuition-free under programs supported by state and county funding and urged residents to consider attending.
Dr. Curt Nitis, president of the Community College of Baltimore County, used the town hall stage to describe CCBC's programs and to promote an initiative he called "Attend CCBC Tuition Free." He told attendees the college offers over 300 degrees and certificates and said last year "98.3 percent of every single Baltimore County resident who attended CCBC did so tuition free." He described the program as a gift to residents and said the college and partners have worked to make tuition-free access widely available.
Nitis thanked the county for its partnership on workforce and higher-education investments and introduced County Executive Kathy Klausmeier to the audience. CCBC's president also encouraged residents to visit and take advantage of the college's offerings and noted the institution's regional recognition.
The college presentation was a policy and outreach highlight at the town hall; county budget staff noted higher-education funding and CCBC's role when discussing where local dollars are spent.
