Putting Students First and Meeting Energy Demands
John,
In a major win for Hoosier students and families, Governor Mike Braun 
announced on Tuesday that Indiana’s public colleges and universities had agreed 
to freeze in-state undergraduate tuition and fees for the 2025–2026 and 
2026–2027 academic years. This marks the first time since 2010 that so many 
campuses have done so, delivering on Governor Braun’s commitment to keep 
college affordable and setting a national precedent.Student leaders praised the 
move as a step toward greater opportunity for all Hoosiers. The freeze has been 
backed unanimously by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, and includes 
all 15 of the state's public colleges and universities.
On Wednesday, Governor Mike Braun announced the creation of the Strategic 
Energy Growth Task Force to develop a comprehensive plan that meets Indiana’s 
rapidly growing demand for reliable and affordable energy. With increased 
electricity needs driven by the return of manufacturing, AI-powered data 
centers, and consumer electrification, the task force will take an 
"all-of-the-above" approach to energy development. Its priorities include 
strengthening energy reliability, maintaining and expanding power generation, 
deploying nuclear energy, and positioning Indiana as a future energy export 
state.
Thanks to your efforts, our conservative leadership is delivering for 
Hoosiers, and it's up to us to keep that momentum going into 2026!
As always, thank you for being a part of our team. Please feel free to reach 
out if there's anything I can assist with.
Lana Keesling, Indiana GOP Chairwoman

Governor Braun Announces Tuition Freeze
Governor Mike Braun announced a two-year tuition freeze for all 15 of 
Indiana’s public colleges and universities, covering the 2025–26 and 2026–27 
academic years. The freeze includes both flagship and regional campuses and 
follows Braun’s call for schools to cut costs without lowering quality. Tuition 
at Indiana schools ranges from $2,577 at Ivy Tech to $12,144 at IU Bloomington, 
all below the national average. Braun emphasized that schools should not raise 
other fees to make up the difference.
“The commitment made by all of Indiana’s public colleges and universities puts 
students and parents first and demonstrates to the rest of the country that 
Indiana is a leader in providing a high-quality education at an affordable 
price."

Governor Braun Creates Strategic Energy Task Force
Governor Mike Braun has established the Strategic Energy Growth Task Force to 
ensure reliable and affordable energy as Indiana’s economy expands. The group 
will develop 5- and 20-year plans focusing on energy reliability, 
affordability, nuclear development, and making Indiana an energy export state. 
It will work with utilities and stakeholders to meet rising demand and keep 
electricity costs down.
“Indiana’s economy is growing and we need new solutions to meet this 
accelerating energy demand reliably and affordably.”
- Governor Mike Braun via Fox 59.
