<p>“The approved budget leverages a $42 million investment by Governor Mark Dayton and legislative leaders to freeze resident undergraduate tuition for two years. The U’s 11,000 PELL grant-eligible undergraduates will also receive an average boost of $813 in state and federal need-based aid agreed to by state policymakers. The budget also included no increases to campus and collegiate fees for the first time since they were implemented, and holds the combined total of all resident undergraduate tuition and required fees across all campuses to less than 1 percent.”</p>
