The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education’s Board of Governors announced on Wednesday afternoon that for the seventh straight year, they are freezing tuition for in-state, undergraduate students.

According to PASSHE, these repeated freezes save students nearly 25 percent in tuition costs if tuition had kept pace with inflation since 2018.

“PASSHE is proud to keep tuition frozen for a seventh consecutive year, and we thank the governor and the legislature for their increased investment which helps make this tuition freeze possible,” said Chair Cynthia Shapira. “State funding is a lifeline for our students to afford college, and freezing tuition for another year was a top priority for PASSHE as we continue to transform the State System for the future, support opportunities for more people to get a valuable education, and prepare graduates to fill shortages throughout the workforce and serve their communities.”
