Blinn College trustees agree to freeze tuition and fee rates for the 2025 fall semester. The unanimous vote at Tuesday’s meeting (April 8) follows the recommendation of executive vice chancellor and former state representative Leighton Schubert. Schubert brought up following the governor’s order that four year universities freeze their tuition rates. Blinn trustees will decide on tuition and fees for the remainder of the 2025-26 academic year after the end of the current legislative session. The trustees vote also took into account, Blinn taking in $5.3 million dollars in unexpected revenue this fiscal year and proposed revenue for the next fiscal year based on this year’s enrollment.
