ROCKVILLE CENTRE, NY — Molloy College announced that it will freeze its tuition for the upcoming 2020-21 school year for both undergraduate and graduate students as part of the college's response to the coronavirus pandemic.

“Students and their families have been severely impacted by the virus, including financially,” said John McEntee, chair of the Molloy College Board of Trustees. “The board recognizes that and is taking this unprecedented step to help make a Molloy education as affordable as possible.”

The college has already refunded about $1 million to students to reimburse them for meal plans, fees and other expenses due to the closure of the school's campus. The college is also working on how it will hold classes in the fall to best serve students.
