UC to consider increasing tuition and cutting how much of it goes to financial aid
Briefly

University of California regents are evaluating tuition increases and potential reductions in financial aid as financial challenges arise from government cuts and inflation. The previous tuition stability plan allowed incoming students to maintain fixed tuition rates. Students who began in fall 2022 now pay $13,104 annually, while tuition for new students entering in fall 2023 is set at $14,934 for residents. The regents face decisions regarding the future of tuition policies as the stability plan expires after fall 2026, balancing affordability and educational quality for diverse student needs.
UC regents are considering tuition increases amidst financial uncertainty, with the possibility of reducing financial aid funding from those revenues.
The University of California's tuition stability plan allowed tuition to remain fixed for incoming students, benefiting California residents.
