(WENY) — The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, or PASSHE, announced that they will cover the rest of eligible students’ tuition after federal grants.
The ‘PASSHE Pledge’ is designed to cover remaining tuition costs for students that received both a federal PELL grant and a PA state grant. Eligible students would still have to pay for other expenses, like room and board.
Each PASSHE college will work to fulfill the pledge with their own funding as well as external donations.
The initiative will begin in fall 2027.
