Last year, Abbott signed a law that froze undergraduate tuition and fees for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 academic years.

Texas public colleges and universities should not increase tuition for another two years, Gov. Greg Abbott said Nov. 13, citing “significant rising costs due to inflation.”

In a letter sent to all universities and colleges in Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott said undergraduate tuition and fee increases are prohibited “in the next biennium.”
