share the cost of the dual enrollment opportunity.• Student/parents are responsible for other mandatory or optional items such as

malpractice insurance, scrubs, stethoscope, welding helmet, etc.• Secondary school systems will provide the CTAE books for the students. Costs will vary

by the book and number of students enrolled.• If a student qualifies for Hope Grant, Lanier Technical College commits to exempting all

tuition, not covered by HOPE, and fees with the exception of a one-time application fee of $15.00 per student.
