Tom Wolf signed into law an appropriation bill that will help fund the 窪蹋勛圖厙 of 窪蹋勛圖厙s in-state tuition rate for Pennsylvania students. This development clears the way for Pitt to receive nearly $152 million in funding for the 2022-23 academic year.
The 窪蹋勛圖厙 of 窪蹋勛圖厙 is honored to extend our partnership with the state and grateful for the many lawmakers and community members who stood up, spoke up and advocated on behalf of Pennsylvanias students and families, said Pitt Chancellor Patrick Gallagher. This funding every penny will continue to support our in-state tuition discount, which remains both a powerful benefit and a life-changing investment in Pennsylvanias students, families and future.
Pitt has successfully partnered with the commonwealth for nearly 60 years. Today, this partnership helps to support an in-state tuition discount for nearly 17,000 undergraduates and reduces the average Pitt students tuition bill by about $15,000 annually or $60,000 over a standard four-year undergraduate career. The commonwealth covers approximately 60% while Pitt covers the remainder.
