Governor Tom Corbett has announced that the proposed 2013-14 budget will maintain funding levels for state and state-related universities.
 
In return for $1.58 billion in funding to higher education, university leaders in turn promised to work to keep tuition increases as low as possible for their students.
 
Tuition increases were at historic lows during the 2012-13 school year for Pennsylvania’s state and state-related universities. For students at Penn State, Temple and Pitt, they were the lowest increases in more than 10 years.
