All of Indiana’s public colleges and universities will freeze tuition for in-state students.
Effective for the 2025-2027 academic years, the institutions will not raise tuition or mandatory fees in that time. Gov. Mike Braun and the Commission for Higher Education requested the freezes one month ago.
The tuition rates apply to all public Indiana colleges, universities and their campuses, including:
- Ball State University,
- Indiana State University
- Indiana University
- Ivy Tech Community College
- Purdue University
- University of Southern Indiana
- Vincennes University
“The commitment made by all of Indiana's public colleges and universities puts students and parents first and demonstrates to the rest of the country that Indiana is a leader in providing a high quality education at an affordable price,” Braun said in a news release.
Students not from Indiana may experience tuition and fee increases.
The freeze comes as the colleges and universities face budget cuts. After the passage of the state’s budget, higher education institutions will have to work with about 10 percent less funding in the next two years. Tuition and fees generally make up most of the institutions’ revenue.
Purdue has frozen its tuition since 2013 at $9,992, though fees and other costs have increased.
