NH university system struggles to keep tuition low as it looks at 7 years of level funding - TODD FEATHERS, New Hampshire Union Leader

More than 60 percent of high school graduates who plan to attend a four-year college leave New Hampshire to do so. That’s the highest rate in the country, according to the U.S. Department of Education, and with unemployment at 2.4 percent, the lowest in the nation, businesses are desperate for qualified employees. But New Hampshire is also at the bottom in another field: State government appropriated $2,701 per full-time student in fiscal year 2017, which according to the State Higher Education Executive Officers association was less than any other state besides Vermont, which appropriated $2,695 per student. https://www.unionleader.com/news/education/nh-university-system-struggles-to-keep-tuition-low-as-it/article_3f62436d-99b4-512f-a292-590308ae1846.html
