Tuition Trends Up, Financial Aid to Fall

The College Board reported today on increases in tuition above rates of inflation. It explained that tuition has raised on average 6.4% at public four-year institutions. In response, the American Council of Education (ACE) stated that conditions are such that families should expect increases in tuition levels and decreases in financial aid, as highlighted in the Washington Post.

Maryland might be in a better situation than most states because of Governor O'Malley's expressed support for maintaining affordability at USM institutions.
