All 15 of Indiana’s public colleges, universities commit to tuition freeze

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Indiana Governor Mike Braun announced Tuesday that all 15 of Indiana’s public colleges and universities, including main and regional campuses, will not be increasing tuition or other mandatory fees for two consecutive academic years.

This freeze is for in-state undergraduate students for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 academic years.

State officials say this is a result of Braun's request to implement a zero percent increase in tuition and fees.

“A month ago, we challenged our state’s public higher education institutions to find efficiencies, eliminate redundancies and identify ways to streamline services without compromising quality,” said Braun. “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.”

Officials say the Boards of Trustees at the 15 campuses have all announced their commitment to keeping tuition and fees flat for two years.

The campuses include:

• Ball State University,
• Indiana State University
• Indiana University Bloomington,
• Indiana University East,
• Indiana University Indianapolis,
• Indiana University Kokomo,
• 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 and
• Vincennes University
