LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Beginning with the fall 2024 semester, the University of Louisville's Border Benefit award will expand, offering in-state tuition to students from all counties in Ohio and West Virginia.
The Border Benefit is already available to all students from Illinois and Indiana as well as some counties surrounding Nashville and St. Louis.
The award is worth about $16,000 per year, bringing the tuition cost down to the equivalent of in-state tuition.
"The Border Benefit expansion is just one example of UofL's dedication to increasing access to and affordability of education," Jim Begany, vice president of enrollment management at UofL, said in a news release Thursday. "We're eager to help more students find success and earn their college degree without an overwhelming financial burden."
