ENMU says it will not raise tuition or fees for the upcoming school year
PORTALES, N.M. (KRQE) – Eastern New Mexico University will not raise tuition or fees for the 2024-2025 academic year. “We continue our work to make higher education accessible and affordable,” said ENMU Chancellor James Johnston in a press release. “Through the work of a great staff at ENMU and the continued investment in higher education by the State, ENMU remains a leader in high quality, affordable education.”
Eastern New Mexico University getting over $16 million for improvements
ENMU’s decision comes after New Mexico made history by passing the largest trust fund for tuition-free college and by investing a record $162 million in the Opportunity Scholarship. That led to the state’s Higher Education Department asking schools to keep their tuition rates from rising or New Mexico students could lose state-funded scholarships like what happened to the Lottery Scholarship.
The University of New Mexico said they will not raise tuition this coming semester. However, New Mexico Teach has confirmed they will increase tuition by 3%.
