Penn State Announces Tuition Increase: Main Campus Students Face 4% Rise, Satellite Campuses 1%
Pennsylvania State University has announced a tuition increase for students attending its main campus set to take effect in 2025, according to the published article of 6abc. The Board of Trustees approved the hike to help address the university’s ongoing budget deficit. In-state students will experience a tuition increase of just over $400 while out-of-state students will see varied changes based on their campus location.
For out-of-state students those studying at satellite campuses will face a 1% increase in tuition whereas those at the main campus in Happy Valley will see a 4% rise. Importantly in-state students attending satellite campuses will not see an increase in their tuition fees as university leaders have opted to maintain current rates for this group.
