UD started offering a tuition guarantee in 2013 and this spring’s graduates were the first to be enrolled all four years of the program. UD’s plan increased graduation rates among this spring’s senior class by 8 percentage points while reducing their cumulative loan debt by nearly $6 million, according to the university.

OSU’s board of trustees will consider the tuition proposal on Tuesday, according to the school. Both Miami University in Oxford and Ohio University in Athens have similar programs already in place as well.
