UK hikes in-state tuition 9 percent, adds scholarship program

In-state freshmen and sophomores must pay more to attend the University of Kentucky next fall but also will get more scholarship opportunities to offset the costs.

The universitys board of trustees on Tuesday approved a 9 percent tuition and fee increase for Kentucky residents who enroll or are entering their sophomore year. President Lee Todd said the hike was necessary to keep the school on track to joining the ranks of top 20 public research institutions by 2020 - a distinction he says will help reduce poverty rates and health care costs in the state.

It is the first time in four years the tuition increases have been under 10 percent. Last years hike was 12 percent.
