Undergraduate students at East Stroudsburg University will not see any increase in tuition or fees for the 2021-2022 academic year.\u00a0 On Thursday, April 29, ESU\u2019s Council of Trustees unanimously voted to keep all auxiliary fees flat for the next academic year.\u00a0 This follows the decision of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) Board of Governors, which made the decision to freeze basic in-state undergraduate tuition for a third consecutive year at all State System campuses during the April 15, 2021 meeting.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur decision not to increase student fees is part of our ongoing efforts to keep the educational and life experiences at ESU affordable,\u201d said L. Patrick Ross \u201967, chair of ESU\u2019s Council of Trustees.\u00a0 \u201cThe Trustees truly understand that we need to do all we can to remove obstacles that may stand in the way of student success.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to ESU Interim President Kenneth Long, the auxiliary fees include services such as campus housing, meal plans, parking, health services, recreation center membership, shuttle services, and student activities.\u00a0 Auxiliary fees represent approximately 18 percent of the University\u2019s overall budget and provide the necessary resources to support cocurricular activities and other venues students have come to expect at a comprehensive public university. These decisions by the Board of Governors and Council of Trustees, coupled with ESU\u2019s Warrior Promise, provide ESU students and their families with a greater level of certainty of the cost of their education.\u00a0 Instituted in 2016, the Warrior Promise guarantees undergraduate tuition will not change for four years. \u00a0Undergraduate Tuition at ESU for the 2021-2022 academic year is set at $8,288.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis decision will definitely place a financial burden back on ESU, but we know it\u2019s the right thing to do for our students,\u201d said Interim President Long. \u201cWe are grateful that our Council of Trustees recognizes the hardships that many students are facing, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020.\u00a0 We all want to maximize the access to higher education so that everyone has an opportunity to pursue their dreams and be prepared for this rapidly changing global society.\u201d<\/p>\n
