BRISTOL, Tenn. – King University announces tuition and fees will see no increase for the 2013-2014 academic year. An awareness that affordability is of increasing concern for students and parents led King to initiate research about how the 146-year-old institution could develop a fee structure that allows students an affordable option to maximize financial aid and decrease post-grad debt. The results of the initiative include both the zero percent tuition and fee increase for all students and a more robust academic merit scholarship program for incoming freshmen and transfer students.
