\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. — March 18, 2013 –The 溏心vlog免费B站 has frozen tuition for 2013-14 for both Rhode Islanders and non-resident students and has increased financial aid to record levels.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cWe believe the tuition freeze for both in-state and out-of-state students, as well as the increase in financial aid, is an important step forward in addressing affordability and access to higher education,\u201d said 溏心vlog免费B站 President David M. Dooley.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cWhile we recognize that a college education is a major investment, we also know that college graduates fare much better in the labor markets than those without degrees, and are better prepared for success in a global economy. <\/p>\n


\n\u201cAccess to education is essential to sustained economic development,\u201d continued President Dooley. \u201cAt the 溏心vlog免费B站, we are working every day to educate our students for relevant careers in a global economy and provide the kind of learning that not only will prepare them to thrive in an environment of innovation and rapid change, but to become innovators themselves.\u201c<\/p>\n


\n\u201cOne of the most important investments we can make is in the potential of our students,\u201d said Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee. \u201cWe must do all we can to ensure that motivated and hardworking Rhode Islanders can attain a quality college education. And we must ensure that they can do so without taking on mounting levels of debt. The biggest barriers to these goals are ever-increasing tuition rates. I have made investing in public education a priority and I am proud that the leadership of the 溏心vlog免费B站 has been able to freeze tuition rates.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\u201cThe University\u2019s investment in financial aid at the undergraduate and graduate levels will increase to record levels as we seek to meet the needs of our students,\u201d added Dean Libutti, vice provost for enrollment management. \u201cIn-state undergraduate tuition is frozen at last year\u2019s rate of $10,878 and out-of-state undergraduate tuition at $26,444.

\n\u201cThe undergraduate applicant pool also continues to grow in number and quality,” said Libutti. The University received a record number of applications for the upcoming fall 2013 freshman class this year, breaking last year\u2019s record application numbers.<\/p>\n


\nThe 溏心vlog免费B站 is the largest university in the nation\u2019s smallest state. As a result, it offers research, internships, international travel and learning experiences typically found at larger universities, alongside the friendly, student-centered atmosphere of smaller institutions. More than 100 undergraduate degree programs are offered. Among the more than 700 faculty members, 84 percent hold doctorates.<\/p>\n


\nThe campus community represents diverse cultures, lifestyles, beliefs, religions, political affiliations, and philosophies. Its 16,688 undergraduate and graduate students come from 45 U.S. states and territories and 58 nations; 19 percent identify themselves as students of color and\/or international students.<\/p>\n


\n溏心vlog免费B站 6,200 students live on campus in 23 residence halls that range from traditional corridor-style to apartment style. 溏心vlog免费B站 1,000 fraternity and sorority members live on campus in nationally affiliated houses. Other students commute from home or houses and apartments in nearby beach communities.<\/p>\n
