UNIVERSITY PARK - With state lawmakers passing a $1.5 billion borrowing plan Wednesday night to fund the state's budget, state universities look like they will be getting $650 million in university aid.

Following Wednesday night's passage in the House, Penn State, Pitt, Temple and Lincoln universities are likely to get their state funding after the four-month stalemate.

Penn State President Eric Barron said $318.2 million of the $650 million is heading to Penn State.

Barron said that since a budget has passed, no tuition surcharge or other increases will be necessary.

"Penn State's general support appropriation directly impacts thousands of Pennsylvania families each year, as it is used to keep tuition lower for Pennsylvania students," said Barron.

“State funding for Pitt directly supports lower tuition rates for thousands of Pennsylvania students and their families, and it is a critical mechanism for ensuring that we retain the best and brightest students in the Commonwealth," said Pitt Chancellor Pat Gallagher.

Gov. Tom Wolf Press Secretary J.J. Abbott said that the governor plans the university state funding plan.
