Michigan university to reduce nonresident tuition

(AP) — Western Michigan University the decision to cap tuition for future undergraduate students from outside the state will "dramatically" reduce its tuition.

Because of the declining number of Michigan high school graduates, Van Der Kley told the board to target nonresidential population to "maintain enrollment numbers that allow it (the university) to operate at maximum efficiency."

Western Michigan said tuition for nonresident students who are currently enrolled in the school will stay the same, but those students are still eligible for help from scholarships and financial aid packages.
