Funding

JJC will finance its master plan through the shared responsibility of students, taxpayers, and the private and not for profit sector.

  • Community members will be asked to support projects through a voter-approved building bond/referendum for $89 million.
  • Student service-based projects will be financed with a student fee to raise $70 million in bonds. A fee of $9 per credit hour has been approved for fall 2008-2009. The fee will be increased by an additional $9 per credit hour in each of the next three years. If the referendum is approved, the fee increases over the next three years will be $1 per credit hour.
  • Partnerships will fund additional projects, such as the joint venture between JJC and the YMCA on a capital campaign to privately raise an estimated $30 million for a fitness center.
