Pennsylvania universities charging more in 2022-23 school year

College5

Average tuition fees rose 3.9% for college students in Pennsylvania in the 2022-23 school year, according to the latest disclosure from the National Center for Education Statistics.

Data shows that students paid $28,298 on average to attend higher education courses at the time, $1,056 more than the previous school year.

Among the 278 institutions providing full disclosure in the state, Franklin and Marshall College stood out with the highest tuition fees, reaching an average of $65,844. Haverford College followed with an average of $63,628 per year. Northern Pennsylvania Regional College students were offered the lowest annual tuition fees at $4,800.

Currently there are 285 higher education institutions in Pennsylvania.

At the time, at least $1.5 billion in grants or scholarships were awarded to full-time undergraduates who started college in Pennsylvania. Additionally, federal student loans reached more than $557.1 million.

Undergraduate education costs have seen a significant increase over the past few decades. Data shows a 169% rise in the average total cost, including tuition, fees, room, and board, between 1980 and 2020.

According to a 2023 College Board report, in-state students at public universities paid an average of $11,260, while out-of-state students paid $29,150 in the 2023-24 academic year.

Meanwhile, student loan debt has steadily increased over the last 30 years, reaching $1.75 trillion in 2024, averaging a total of $28,950 per borrower. Federal loans make up 92% of the debt, with over half of students at both public and private four-year colleges graduating with student loans.

Of the 285 institutions in Pennsylvania, seven did not provide detailed data on tuition fees, including Gratz College, Sharon Regional School of Nursing, and Roxborough Memorial Hospital School of Nursing.

Available data sometimes exceeds 100% due to rounding and administrative calculations.
