Tuition Increases Are The Lowest In Decades

Undergraduates at Virginia’s public colleges and universities will experience the lowest tuition and mandatory fee increases in a decade. Virginia’s State Council for Higher Education announced the average tuition increase this year of 4-point-1 percent represents a 3-point-8 percent drop from last year’s. This year’s low tuition and fee increase were made possible in large part to the continued commitment of reinvestment by the 2012 General Assembly. The body allocated 230-million dollars in additional general fund support to the state’s public higher education institutions.
