Governor’s budget seeks tuition freeze, Romney, free preschool
Montana higher education leaders broke into applause Thursday at the unveiling of Gov. Steve Bullock’s proposed budget, which calls for freezing tuition for Montana students for the next two years to keep college affordable.
The governor’s spending plan also calls for $32 million to rebuild Romney Hall at Montana State University, $5 million to create a new financial aid fund for needy college students and $30 million to offer free preschool for Montana’s 4-year-olds.
“This is incredibly exciting…. Wow,” said Montana Board of Regents Chair Fran Albrecht.
