The Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ Board of Regents approved an agreement to lower tuition for out-of-state students.

The Board of Regents approved a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) to reduce non-resident tuition from $9,500 per semester to $5,775 per semester for students in the seven states contiguous to Kentucky, as well as Michigan. 

Out-of-state tuition will be reduced beginning with the Fall 2019 semester. Students under the Thorobred Promise (a four-year tuition guarantee) will have their guarantee adjusted to reflect the lower tuition levels. This initiative reduces financial barriers for students to graduate in four years.

According to Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ President M. Christopher Brown II, â€œThis tuition reduction enables Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ to be a more competitive option for students and parents seeking a quality education at an affordable price.â€

Brown also stated that recruitment strategies involving the new rate will assist the campus community and alumni in their enrollment efforts of out-of-state students.
