The Idaho State Board of Education voted to approve tuition increases for Idaho's public colleges and universities, effective fall 2026. Resident undergraduate students at University of Idaho, Boise State University, and Idaho State University will face a $425 increase in tuition and fees, while Lewis-Clark State College students will face a $350 increase. The increases are intended to offset funding reductions, with Lewis-Clark State College estimating $904,000 in new revenue. University of Idaho's fee increase will support faculty promotion and tenure, inflation costs, and the university's Counseling and Mental Health Center. Boise State University's tuition increases will mitigate the impacts of eliminating faculty and staff positions and reducing academic and student support programs. The institutions have faced funding reductions, including 4% in fiscal year 2026 and 5% in fiscal year 2027.
