Tuition and Fees Up at MD Universities

Don Rush

University of Maryland students will be shelling out a little more for tuition in the coming school year.

The Board of Regents gave the green light for a 2.4 percent hike in tuition and fees to bring in more than $35 million.

For students at Salisbury University this will mean a tuition increase of 6 percent while out of state students will pay up to 4.4 percent more.

For most schools officials say that Maryland residents won’t see more than a 3 per increase.

WBOC reports that along with fee increases Maryland residents will pay a few hundred dollars more while out-of-state students could see their costs go up to as much as $1-thousand next year depending on the school.
