Purdue U. Announces Additional Student Aid to Offset Tuition Increases
Purdue University, which was criticized by a state senator for the size of its tuition increases this year and next, is taking steps "to ensure that a Purdue degree remains accessible and affordable," its president, France A. Córdova, said. According to the Associated Press, Purdue, following similar action last week by Indiana University, will give additional financial aid to needier students to cover the tuition increases. It will also use federal stimulus funds to give Indiana undergraduate students a $250 rebate next year -- enough to cover half of a new $500 student fee.
