tuition costs
University price tag
Tuition costs are the fees charged by educational institutions for instruction.
The term appears most often in discussions of higher education, where tuition costs have risen dramatically: Tuition costs have outpaced inflation for decades.
The phrase is somewhat redundant—tuition alone carries the same meaning—but emphasizes the financial burden on students and families.
