The University of Wisconsin says it’s affordable for most students in the state.
The university released the results of its ‘affordability review’ yesterday. New UW President Jay Rothman said low- to moderate-income students are less likely to apply to a UW school, meaning a college degree may still be unaffordable to them. The review said even incoming underrepresented minority and first-generation students are more likely to come from higher-earning families. Wisconsin students pay about 11 thousand-dollars a year in tuition at UW-Madison, while out-of-state students pay nearly 40 thousand-dollars a year.
