Wisconsin System Proposes 3.75% Tuition Increase

The proposed hike, aimed to address rising costs, marks the second consecutive year of tuition increases after a decade-long freeze.

UW System President Jay Rothman announced a 3.75% tuition increase for in-state undergraduates for the next school year.
The increase is intended to generate an estimated $39 million annually to keep pace with rising costs.
This follows a 10-year tuition freeze, lifted by the Legislature, with last year's tuition rising by an average of 4.2%.
Additional fees and specific increases at seven universities aim to fund priorities like academic advising and faculty hiring.
The UW System remains the most affordable in the Midwest, with a commitment to financial stewardship amid economic challenges.
