Ed Rendell’s June 26 proposal to cut Penn State’s appropriation by nearly $61 million, the Penn State University’s Board of Trustees and administration made the unprecedented decision to approve two different tuition schedules. The first tuition scenario—the earlier planned level, prior the governor’s June 26 proposal—results in the following tuition changes for Penn State Behrend:
– Lower-division Commonwealth Campus students at Penn State Behrend, defined as those who have completed less than 59.1 credits, who are Pennsylvania residents (in-state) will see a 3.9 percent tuition increase, which translates to $226 per semester.

– Lower-division Commonwealth Campus students at Penn State Behrend, defined as those who have completed less than 59.1 credits, who are Pennsylvania residents (in-state) will see a 4.9 percent tuition increase, which translates to $284 per semester.
