Pittsburg State University will see a small increase in tuition after no tuition increases in three of the past four years.

The Kansas Board of Regents approved an increase for the upcoming academic year by five percent or $146 per semester. Fees will also increase by $45 per semester, for a total increase of $191 for undergraduate students per semester. Graduate students will also see a five percent increase.

Governor Laura Kelly’s budget included $1.8 million for need-based financial aid for Pitt State students, which will help offset the tuition and fee increase.
