Governor Abbott Extends College Tuition Freeze in Texas
Texas Governor Greg Abbott announces a continuation of the tuition freeze at public universities, aiming to maintain affordability amidst rising inflation.
- Governor Abbott has prohibited any tuition increases at Texas public universities for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 academic years.
- This decision follows a previous agreement to freeze tuition, initially set to expire after the 2024-25 school year.
- Abbott's stance comes in response to inflation and economic pressures affecting Texans' household budgets.
- The Texas legislature allocated an additional $700 million to public universities last session to support this tuition freeze.
- It remains unclear whether the freeze applies to both undergraduate and graduate tuition, as detailed plans have not been specified.
