Drake made the announcement at his State of the University speech on Thursday. It brings the total investment in his Affordability Grant program to $35 million over two years.
The program is part of a bigger effort to help students financially that includes an ongoing freeze on both tuition and mandatory fees for in-state undergraduates dating to the 2012-13 school year.
Last year, Drake announced a $400 million commitment over five years to lower students’ costs and improve the value of their education.
