HARRISBURG, Pa. – Undergraduate tuition is set to rise this fall at all 10 of the state-run universities in Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education.
This applies to Kutztown University.
Officials say in-state undergraduate tuition will increase by $172 per semester. That could be rolled back if lawmakers approve more funding in the state budget.
The PASSHE board of governors on Thursday also announced a new scholarship initiative called the “PASSHE Pledge.”
It calls for covering remaining out-of-pocket tuition costs for in-state undergraduates who receive both a federal Pell Grant and a Pennsylvania state grant. Fees, books, housing and meals are not included.
The PASSHE universities are Cheyney University of Pennsylvania, Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania, East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, Millersville University of Pennsylvania, PennWest University, Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania, Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania and West Chester University of Pennsylvania.
