,	Print Issue

Total undergraduate charges for tuition, fees and room and board at the University of Pennsylvania will increase 4.9 percent for the 2007-2008 academic year, bringing the total cost of an undergraduate year to $46,124. The increase was approved last Thursday by Penn’s Board of Trustees. (See Trustees' March Meeting Coverage for more.)

Tuition and fees for undergraduate students for the 2007-2008 academic year will increase 5.15 percent to $35,916; average room-and-board charges will increase 4.1 percent to $10,208.

Penn is one of the few universities in the nation with a need-blind admissions policy, which ensures that students are admitted based on academic achievement, without regard for their ability to pay. Any accepted student who matriculates with a demonstrated financial need will receive a financial-aid package that meets the full extent of the student’s need for a full four years.
