Colorado State University President Tony Frank and artist and CSU alumna Karina Mullen Branson return to explain where your tuition dollars go after leaving your checking account. Dr. Frank explains how tuition dollars and state support are applied towards instruction and academic support, student services, and other institutional support. The 2015 video also delves into how differential tuition is assessed and where those dollars go in support of a student’s individual college.

Tuition and fees are a significant investment in a student’s future, but the return on investment is solid. Understanding how student tuition is spent by the institution is an important component of being an educated consumer.
