Fitchburg State University will freeze undergraduate tuition and fees for the upcoming academic year, the school announced Tuesday.
The coronavirus pandemic has brought an economic toll on the university, but the school didn’t want to pass that burden on to students and their families, President Richard Lapidus said in a statement.
Fitchburg State’s tuition, fees and other costs came to $10,565 this year for in-state commuter students and $21,627 for those living on campus. For out-of-state students, those costs are $16,645 and $27,707, respectively.
Framingham State University previously announced in December it, too, would freeze tuition and fees for the upcoming year.Â
