Won’t the governor’s proposal to help students pay for tuition make a difference for Temple students?
The governor’s proposal creates a new direct tuition subsidy funded by tax revenue generated by legalizing video poker. Community colleges and State System of Higher Education schools (like West Chester, Kutztown and Millersville universities) are the only institutions whose students would be eligible for the funding. Students at state-related schools, which include Temple, Penn State University, the University of Pittsburgh and Lincoln University, are excluded from this potential new benefit.
