More than four months after the budget deadline, the Pennsylvania House and Senate on Wednesday approved level funding for Penn State and two of the commonwealth’s three other state-related universities. The bill was signed by Gov. Josh Shapiro on Thursday, releasing more than $640 million in higher education appropriations. Penn State will receive a general appropriation of $242.1 million, unchanged from 2022-23 in general support, funds it uses to discount tuition for in-state students. Funding for Pitt ($151.5 million) and Temple ($158.2 million) also remains flat.
