Board extends UAH Tennessee in‑state tuition program through 2027–28
Summary
Trustees approved an extension of a UAH program that allows certain Tennessee residents who live more than 50 miles from campus and qualify for merit or athletic scholarships to pay resident tuition; extension runs through the 2027–28 academic year.
The Board approved a resolution authorizing the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) to extend its Tennessee in‑state tuition program through the 2027–28 academic year.
Dan Keith said the board originally approved the program in November 2020 to permit first‑time, full‑time freshmen whose permanent address is in Tennessee but who live more than 50 miles from the UAH campus to pay the resident tuition rate provided they qualify for a merit‑based or athletic scholarship. Keith said the program has produced consistently positive outcomes and that this resolution would continue the program through 2027–28; if not authorized, the program would be discontinued after 2027–28.
Trustees approved the extension by voice vote. The transcript does not provide enrollment numbers, fiscal impacts, or a detailed evaluation of outcomes; campuses were asked to prepare for the transition if further changes are required in future years.
