The prestigious Aspen Institute recently named Southeastern Illinois College a national top 10% community college—and for good reason. Southeastern’s own “Triple ‘A’ Promise” is a large part of it. Southeastern makes higher education affordable—we’re the best bargain in the area. Our tuition is one of the lowest in the Midwest—because we know that helps you to pursue higher education. Between 70-80% of our students receive some sort of financial assistance—from need-based awards to fully-endowed scholarships from the College Foundation. When a public university can be five times more expensive and a private university can be ten times the cost of attending community college, you know it’s a smart move to attend a quality institution like Southeastern.
