What a welcome tuition freeze looks like
This year, the General Assembly made a significant proposal to state colleges: agree to freeze in-state tuition and certain fees for one year, and receive a share of a special allotment (of over $50 million) from the state. Other fees were allowed to increase.
The following table is our calculation of tuition and mandatory fees for next year for in-state freshmen at selected colleges.
