Support PA Students, Support Pitt
Every year for nearly six decades, Pennsylvania has funded a tuition discount for in-state students attending Pitt and other state-related universities. This funding packs powerful benefits, reducing tuition costs by $15,000 annually for in-state Pitt students and making a world-class education more accessible and affordable for families throughout the state. This is a powerful, life-changing benefit for the state’s residents—and it’s at risk.
