Delaware State Agrees to not Increase Tuition for 2nd Straight Year

For the second year in a row, Delaware State University is making affordability a priority by not increasing its tuition, housing and fee rates for the upcoming 2014-2015 academic year.

While tuition costs may be increasing elsewhere, both the annual in-state and out-of-state tuition and fees for DSU in 2014-2015 will remain the same as they have been in the previous two school years – $7,336 and $15,692, respectively.

The annual traditional fees that will remain unchanged are the fees for student activities, technology and the Student Center Complex.

In addition, the cost to live in the campus’ traditional housing will be unchanged from the current year costs – remaining in the range of $6,976 to $7,490, depending on the residential hall in which a student resides. The cost of meal plans is also unchanged, with the options ranging from $1,926 to $3,844.

The DSU Board of Trustees decided not to increase the tuition rates during a special executive board meeting on May 21.

“This is a major step on our part to recognize our responsibility as members of the higher education community to control our costs and alleviate the burden on our students and their families,” said Dr. Claibourne D. Smith, board chair. “We have chosen to make major changes in how we operate so that we do not have to increase the weight of tuition and fees on the backs of students.”

DSU has not raised its tuition and fees since the 2012-2013 school year.

DSU President Harry L. Williams said the Board of Trustees’ decision not to increase tuition, fees and housing costs for the second consecutive year is consistent with higher education affordability goals of the Obama Administration. “With the country coming out of a recession, I am pleased that the DSU Board of Trustees understands the challenges our students and their families are facing,” Dr. Williams said.
