Tuition Increases Hit GA Colleges, Universities: Here's What Students Could Pay
Chancellor Sonny Perdue said the system is limiting new financial hurdles as enrollment hits record levels and state funding shifts by $34.2 million.
- On Tuesday, the University System of Georgia Board of Regents voted to increase tuition rates by 1% for in-state undergraduate students across its 25 public institutions.
- The tuition hike comes as the system manages rising costs under a 40-year-old funding formula, with state support covering only 57% of instructional costs compared to 75% before the Great Recession.
- Out-of-State and international students face a 3% tuition jump, while the Board approved mandatory fee changes at 13 schools, including reductions at Kennesaw State University and Georgia Southern University.
- Chancellor Sonny Perdue noted the system is "focused on limiting new financial hurdles" as an investment in the state's future, despite a $34.2 million reduction in state funding.
- A new state budget awaiting Governor Brian Kemp's signature incorporates these fiscal adjustments, while the Georgia Senate will study modernizing the higher education funding formula.
