Temple is a state-related university, meaning it receives public funds and offers reduced tuition for Pennsylvania residents, but is under independent control. This differs from Pennsylvania's public universities and is a status shared only with the University of Pittsburgh, Penn State, and the historically black Lincoln University. Usually, tuition at state-related universities is higher than the tuition at Pennsylvania's public universities due to the independence of the institution.
