The governing board of Pennsylvania's 14 state-owned universities Thursday approved a 3.7 percent increase in tuition, while Penn State and Pitt turned up on the heat on Gov. Ed Rendell to restore millions of federal stimulus dollars so they can hold down tuition increases.
Tuition for a resident undergraduate student will increase by $196 to $5,554 for the 2009-10 school year, while the maximum tuition for nonresidents will increase by $490 to $13,886.
The board, meeting in Harrisburg, also increased the annual technology fee that all students must pay by nearly 14 percent. A resident undergraduate student will pay $206, a nonresident $310.
Meanwhile Thursday, the executive committee of the University of Pittsburgh's board of trustees approved tuition increases of as much as 4 percent.
Penn State announced that its trustees will likely vote Friday to adopt the lesser of two options approved last week by the university trustees - increasing tuition at the main campus in State College by 4.5 percent. The other option called for a 10 percent boost.
