MILWAUKEE â?? Most University of Wisconsin System students will pay higher tuition next school year, helping to subsidize free college education for veterans, the Board of Regents decided Thursday.
The regents approved a $4.7 billion operating budget for the UW System that includes a 5.5 percent tuition increase for undergraduates from Wisconsin. Students will pay about $350 more at UW-Madison, $340 more at UW-Milwaukee and $265 more at 11 other four-year universities next year.
