With reductions in revenue sources in 2022 and this year, the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith is tightening its belt and making tough decisions on how best to keep a balanced budget. One of those decisions is to raise tuition. If the budget is approved by the Board of Trustees, new, in-state undergraduate students and students no longer enrolled in the UAFS Promise Program beginning in the fall will be charged $188 per semester credit hour. Though they suggested a large increase to the tuition, the council wanted to make certain students wanting to attend UAFS could still afford to do so.
