George C Wallace State Community College-Selma

George C. Wallace State Community College-Selma is a public two-year institution located in Selma, Alabama, with an enrollment of approximately 855 students.

In-state tuition is $4,740 per year, and out-of-state tuition is $8,610 per year. The average annual net price — the total cost of attendance, including tuition, fees, and living expenses, after grant and scholarship aid is applied — is $9,272. This figure can exceed published tuition because it accounts for all costs of attendance, not tuition alone. About 37.7% of students receive Pell Grants, a federal aid program for lower-income students. Notably, none of the student body takes out federal student loans, meaning students here appear to cover their costs through other means such as grants, savings, or employer assistance.

The college offers career-focused programs in skilled trades and public safety fields. Representative areas of study include electrical work, HVAC technology, industrial machinery mechanics, welding, and law enforcement training.

Median earnings stand at $31,598 per year, measured approximately ten years after initial enrollment. This figure covers all federally-aided students who enrolled at the college, including those who did not complete a credential, so it reflects a broad population rather than graduates alone.
