维吉尼亚大学学费将增长11%：增长率为全美最高
出国留学网讯 维吉尼亚大学新通过的一项计划规定对大一新生的学费增长11%，并称此举动旨在为急需学费的学生设立基金以支撑他们顺利完成学业，并提出了“高学费，高援助”的概念，然而有些学生对此表示怀疑..
The home-state price of entry at the University of Virginia will rise 11 percent next fall — one of the highest college tuition-and-fee increases in the nation — under a plan approved Tuesday that also aims to slash the debt burden for students in need.
The university’s governing Board of Visitors voted overwhelmingly for a plan that was kept under wraps until its members met in afternoon session in Charlottesville.
维尼吉亚大学在周四通过的一项计划中规定，大一新生的学费在明年将增长11%，它是美国学费增长率最高的大学之一，但同时也降低了学生的还款负担。
The action means that annual tuition and fees for Virginians who enter their public flagship university as freshmen in the next school year will total $14,468, up from the current charge of $12,998. That doesn’t include room and board. For current undergraduate students, however, the increase will be lower: 3.6 percent. That is more in line with other increases at U-Va. in recent years.
此计划 把大一新生的学费从12,998美元上调为14,468美元, 其中并不包括寄宿费等费用。然而对于大二大三大四的学生，学费增长率就相对低一点：3.6%.
John Griffin, a board member who spearheaded the plan, said it will help U-Va. raise funds to set new caps on the amount of money it expects students in need to borrow over four years.
此计划的倡导者是John Griffin，他表明通过增长学费可以为那些急缺学费的学生建立一个基金。
