Tuition may be going up this fall at the University of Minnesota, but tens of thousands of students won’t pay any more than last year, under a proposal released Friday by President Eric Kaler.
The sticker price for Minnesota residents would rise $306, or 2.5 percent, on the Twin Cities campus. But undergrads from other states and countries would see one of the biggest increases in years: a $2,040, or 10 percent, jump in tuition.
If approved by the Board of Regents, the changes would push the undergraduate rate to $12,546 a year for Minnesota residents, and $22,700 for nonresidents. The new rates are included in Kaler’s budget proposal for the 2016-17 school year.
Some 10,000 undergraduates on the Twin Cities campus would see no hike at all, officials say, thanks to the university’s Promise Scholarship program. Under Kaler’s proposal, the scholarship would cover the increase for state residents with family incomes up to $120,000 a year.
