There will be no tuition hike for undergraduate students at Temple University.
The university in Philadelphia said yesterday that annual base tuition for Pennsylvania residents will remain at $13,006 next year.
Temple officials also say they'll offer students an extra $8 million in financial aid.
The move comes as state lawmakers are poised to pass a $27.7 billion budget that maintains higher education funding at last year's levels.
Gov. Tom Corbett had originally proposed a 30 percent aid cut for Temple and two other state-related universities. But lawmakers rejected that plan.
Legislators also rejected Corbett's proposed 20 percent cut to Pennsylvania's 14 state-owned universities.
A spokesman for those campuses said yesterday that state higher education officials postponed a vote on tuition rates pending final passage of the budget.
