RICHMOND â Virginia Commonwealth University is the latest state college to keep tuition flat for the 2021-2022 school year. The university s board of visitors on Friday unanimously approved a $1.5 billion budget that slightly increases fees and costs for room and board and dining but leaves the cost of tuition unchanged.
It s the third year in a row VCU hasn t raised tuition, a decision that comes as families of college students have struggled to make ends meet during the pandemic and after universities have received millions of dollars of federal aid. We recognize that many of our students and their families continue to face challenges from COVID-19, VCU president Michael Rao said in a statement. And we re very pleased that careful and focused budgeting along with increased funding from the state have enabled VCU to hold the line on tuition again for the coming academic year, the third year in a row.
