While we cannot control the information the federal government shares, we can control how affordable college will be for you here at Cumberlands. Beginning this fall, as part of the Cumberlands Commitment, on-campus undergraduate students will pay no more than $2,000 per semester, on average, out of pocket. Why am I telling you this? That’s because regardless of how the federal government impacts the FAFSA process, Cumberlands won’t let it impact your ability to make a sound decision about college.
