Report: Almost all public universities in Mississippi to increase tuition
SUMMARY: A new report indicates that all but one university in Mississippi are increasing tuition due to rising costs. The increase is around 3%, with Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi each seeing costs reach approximately $10,000 annually. While inflation has been a reason for past hikes, this year, school leaders blame severe weather, which has increased property insurance costs. At a recent meeting, the Institutions for Higher Learning Board of Trustees discussed the financial impact of storms on campuses. Delta State University is making efforts to avoid tuition hikes to support economically vulnerable students, providing them access to higher education.
