Tuition & Fees for FY1999: At 3.9%, Lowest
Increase in Decades
At Friday's meeting of the executive committee, the Trustees approved
an increase of 3.9 percent in total undergraduate student charges for the
1998-99 academic year-the lowest percentage increase in three decades, according
to President Judith Rodin. They also approved enhancements to the financial
aid to maintain the need-blind admissions policy. The table below shows
Penn's figures in relation to the Ivy institutions that have announced their
increases, plus some selected peer institutions. Please see statement
issued after the trustees' vote.--Ed.
