Slight Tuition Hike Coming At BSU

Ball State University is keeping next fall’s tuition hike the lowest in four decades. The board of trustees will approve a 1.25% increase for in-state undergrads at a meeting on June 7th. That comes after state lawmakers okayed operating cost funding increases of 3.2 percent for the 2017-2018 fiscal year, and another 1.7% for the following fiscal year. State approporiations account for about a third of the school’s general fund budget. Tuition is the main revenue driver.
