State Support: Making Tuition More Affordable
After years of declining state support for higher education, the state legislature reversed course during its most recent session and cut four-year college tuition costs by 15-20 percent by 2016—making Washington the only state in the nation to lower tuition for public universities and colleges next year. The decision came after years of lobbying by college leaders and students, who argued that the best form of financial aid was lower tuition.
