The University of Tennessee Board of Trustees on Friday approved the requested zero tuition increase for the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, as part of the campus’s $1.92 billion budget.
The board also approved updated budgets for renovation projects at Lindsey Nelson Stadium and Neyland Stadium, new academic programs and two honorary degrees.
This is the fourth year in a row that the board has approved zero tuition increases for the Knoxville campus as the university continues to provide its students with a high-quality education and experience.
Substantial state support, continued strong enrollment and record-setting retention of students make another zero percent tuition increase possible.
“I'm grateful that even as the cost of education continues to rise each year, we have been able to hold tuition steady for our students. The majority of our seniors have paid the same tuition amount every year since they started as first-year students four years ago,” said Chancellor Donde Plowman. “This would not be possible without our record enrollment and retention, as well as the continued support from Governor Bill Lee and our General Assembly.”
