On Monday, members of the Board of Trustees of the University of Maine System voted to approve a Systemwide budget for the fiscal year 23-24. For the first time since 2021, the budget includes a 3% tuition increase for in-state students and slightly higher increases for out-of-state students. “After keeping tuition flat last year, and flat for eight of the past 12 years, this decision to increase tuition was taken very seriously by all of our Trustees,” said Trish Riley, Chair of the UMS Board of Trustees. Despite the increase, the University of Maine, the System’s flagship university is among the most affordable among New England states.
