Wittenberg Announces Historically Low Tuition Increase Of 2.9 Percent

Feb. 17, 2009

Springfield, Ohio – The Wittenberg University Board of Directors recently approved a record low 2.9 percent increase in tuition for the 2009-2010 academic year – the lowest percentage increase since 1965. With 2009-2010 room and board figures, the overall cost to attend Wittenberg this fall will increase by just 3.4 percent.

"Wittenberg remains firmly committed to providing an outstanding, comprehensive and affordable educational experience for all our students. We are also keenly aware of the potential impact of the country's economic struggles on our students and their families," said Wittenberg President Mark H. Erickson. "This year's historically low tuition increase allows us to help our students and their families, while ensuring we don't compromise the continued excellence of a Wittenberg education."

In keeping with its commitment to help students and their families, the university also expects to provide in excess of $30 million in financial aid for the upcoming year, the largest amount of assistance in Wittenberg's 164-year history.

"We have been and continue to be a great investment," Erickson said. "Year after year, our graduates succeed on so many levels and serve as leaders in their chosen career fields and communities around the globe."

One of the nation's top-ranked liberal arts colleges, Wittenberg University challenges students to become responsible global citizens, to discover their callings, and to lead personal, professional, and civic lives of creativity, service, compassion, and integrity.
