Austin, Texas — Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday directed all Texas public universities, colleges and health-related institutions to freeze undergraduate tuition and mandatory fees through the 2026-27 academic year. The written directive, sent to university presidents, continues a statewide policy that began with actions and legislation first implemented in 2023. The freeze covers two-year and four-year institutions and affects tuition, academic fees and course fees for Texas resident undergraduates; the state also increased student financial aid by $328 million in the most recent legislative session. Institutions must comply with the governor's letter this academic cycle, and coverage noted Texas remains an outlier compared with systems that have enacted tuition increases.
