INDIANAPOLIS – Governor Mike Braun today revealed that all 15 of Indiana's public colleges and universities have committed to a two-year tuition freeze.
The school will keep tuition and mandatory fees flat for in-state undergraduate students for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 academic years.
This marks the first time since at least 2010 that more than two campuses have simultaneously agreed to freeze tuition, responding to the Governor's call for a 0% increase.
“The commitment made by all of Indiana's public colleges and universities puts students and parents first and demonstrates to the rest of the country that Indiana is a leader in providing a high quality education at an affordable price,” said Gov. Braun.
The universities involved include:
- Ball State University,
- Indiana State University
- Indiana University Bloomington
- Indiana University East
- Indiana University Indianapolis
- Indiana University Kokom
- Indiana University Northwest
- Indiana University South Bend
- Indiana University Southeast
- Ivy Tech Community College
- Purdue University West Lafayette
- Purdue University Fort Wayne
- Purdue University Northwest
- University of Southern Indiana
- Vincennes University
In a historic, unanimous vote, the Commission for Higher Education supported Gov. Braun's recommendation. The state has 30 days to make tuition and mandatory fee recommendations for colleges within 30 days of the state budget's enactment.
Samantha Fleischaker, a student member of the Commission, emphasized, “Keeping tuition flat keeps the door open for students of all backgrounds, all ZIP codes, and all walks of life. It sends the message that education is not just for one demographic - it’s for all people. It’s not just a number. It’s the difference between opportunity and what feels impossible.”
