Tuition & Fees

The Blueprint for Maryland’s Future (2019) offers public high school students in Worcester, Wicomico or Somerset County who are deemed college and career ready by their high school the opportunity to attend Wor-Wic for free. The college will bill the student’s school district for costs associated with dual enrollment. Learn more about dual enrollment.

Students attending Holly Grove Christian School, The Salisbury School, Salisbury Christian School or Stepping Stones Learning Academy, or other private schools that have a signed dual enrollment agreement with the college, pay 75% of Wor-Wic’s regular tuition rate.

The Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act of 2014 as amended by the Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 2016 requires that public institutions of higher education charge qualifying veterans, dependents and other eligible individuals tuition and fees at the rate for in-state residents.
