Wright State recently announced they will be raising and locking the price of tuition for incoming new students in the fall of 2018. The Wright Guarantee Tuition Program, will be a fixed cost of tuition, housing and dining for the next four years.
The new cost is a six percent increase from the current tuition price and it will not affect those that are current undergraduate students.
The last tuition guarantee program was done in 2014. These fixed tuition programs are done at most Ohio universities such as Ohio State, Bowling Green State, Kent State, Ohio University, Miami University and Youngstown State University.
Amy Barnhart, assistant vice president and director of financial aid, said that this program will benefit students.
“Students can now plan for tuition, room and meal costs for four years. This program also incentivizes undergraduate students to graduate within four years so that they do not experience a tuition rate increase,” Barnhart says.
The program was approved by the Board of Trustees in December and by the Ohio Department of Higher Education in early February.
“WSU chose to participate because we feel it helps our students budget financial resources, plan for four years of educational expenses and incentivizes students to graduate within four years. Wright State takes pride in being an affordable option within the state of Ohio, and this is just one more way that WSU continues to be affordable,” Barnhart said.
