ROCK HILL, SOUTH CAROLINA - The Winthrop University Board of Trustees approved raising undergraduate student tuition rates by 2.5 percent for the 2015-2016 academic year.
Specifics of the increase were not released at the finance committee meeting earlier in the day, but interim Winthrop president Debra Boyd said amount of the increase was designed to help retain students, keep class sizes low and give students access to more services.
Trustee Glenn McCall said the proposed increase is the lowest increase the board has considered in the past 16 years.
