SOURCE: Basic Student Charges, 1961-62, U.S. Office of Education.

Student fees charged in similar-type pUblic institutions generally average higher in Georgia than in both the United States and the southeastern region. In 1961-62, tuition and fees at nine public 4-year, basically liberal arts colleges in Georgia, averaged apprOXimately $220. This was 31.7% above the national average of $167 and 12.8% above the southeastern regional average of $195.
Tuition and fees at Georgia's public junior colleges during the same year aVAraged $166, 13.7% higher than the national average of $146 and 28.7% over the southeastern average of $129. At the unive~sity level, one pUblic university in Georgia was higher than the national average by 14.0% while the other fell below it by the same percent. The above table presents student fees oy institutions.
Comparison of inccme of public institutions in Georgia and the United States also illustrates this circumstance. Georgia's public institutions in 1961-62 obtained 14.9% of their current-fund income from student fees as compared to only 10.1% nationa11y.*
