Purdue’s 14th Year of Frozen Tuition
SUMMARY
On Friday, April 4, the Purdue University Board of Trustees endorsed President Mung Chiang’s request for a 14th consecutive tuition freeze, meaning that Purdue students in West Lafayette and Indianapolis will see no increase in tuition through at least the 2026-27 academic year.
While student loan debt has climbed across the country, Purdue’s commitment to affordability and value has helped students and their families cumulatively save more than $1 billion since the tuition freeze began in 2012-13. Tuition will once again remain at $9,992 for in-state students and $28,794 for out-of-state students.
