What is the cost to students to attend the Governors School?
Governor’s School traditionally has been fully funded by the General Assembly of North Carolina. Recent economic conditions have resulted in the General Assembly reducing funding and imposing a $500 tuition for each student, beginning with the 2010 Governor’s School. Families are responsible for the transportation costs to and from the campuses and for their children’s spending money. Submission of tuition payments will be the responsibility of the Nominating Entity that nominates students. However, these schools/school systems have great flexibility on how they choose to access and collect tuition funds. This may include requesting families to cover some or all tuition costs. Details on tuition payment options and procedures have been sent to schools and school systems.
