Northern Michigan University says it's giving a tuition credit to resident undergraduates next fall, thanks to $1.3 million in federal stimulus funds
MARQUETTE -- Northern Michigan University says it's giving a tuition credit to resident undergraduates next fall, thanks to $1.3 million in federal stimulus funds.
The Marquette school's trustees last week approved the credit of about $190 for full-time students.
Finance Vice President Gavin Leach says terms of the federal stimulus aid called for the money to either mitigate student costs or improve facilities. He says the board decided the tuition credit made sense considering the poor economy.
The trustees also have approved a new master of business administration degree program starting in fall 2010.
