Tuition increases at EWU

Staff Reports The Spokesman-Review
 

In-state undergraduate and graduate school tuition at Eastern Washington University will increase $216 following action last week from the university’s board of trustees.

Trustees at a meeting June 26 approved the 5 percent tuition increase along with the university’s $200,800,484 operating budget for fiscal year 2009, which began July 1. Administrators noted the budget reflects that EWU is preparing for decreased state revenue and increased competition from two-year institutions that are now offering four-year degrees, according to a university press release.

The tuition increase, which includes student service and activity fees and building fees, means undergraduates who live in the state of Washington will pay $4,701 for the 2008-09 academic school year, a $216 increase from the previous year. Graduate students who live in the state will pay $6,795.

Tuition for nonresident undergraduate and graduate students will only increase in tuition due to higher student service and activity fees.
