Pa. state system to cover all tuition for eligible in-state students

The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education has introduced the “PASSHE Pledge,” a groundbreaking initiative that will cover all remaining tuition costs for in-state students who receive federal Pell Grants and state scholarships starting in fall 2027. This move aims to make higher education more accessible and affordable for low-to-moderate income students, addressing a critical need in higher education affordability. By removing financial barriers, the initiative is poised to enhance educational opportunities and contribute to the state's workforce development.
