UW System Proposes Four-Year Tuition Pledge for Incoming Students Starting 2027

The Universities of Wisconsin Board of Regents has approved a budget proposal that includes a four-year tuition pledge for students entering in fall 2027. This plan would feature a two-year tuition freeze for the 2027-2029 biennium, followed by two years where tuition increases would be capped at the rate of inflation, aiming to provide predictable tuition costs and improve college affordability. The proposal is contingent on state lawmakers approving an additional $190 million in state funding.
