<p>in checking UT Dallas website..it says if you are awarded 1000 or more in merit aid, out of state tuition may be waived...</p>

<p>"Nonresidents who earn a merit-based competitive scholarship of $1000 or more may be granted a waiver of nonresident tuition for the period of time covered by the scholarship"</p>

<p>anyone have a list of other schools that do this?</p>

<p>Not exactly the same, but U of Arkansas wiaves out-of-state for many from neighboring states:</p>

<p>"Awarded to entering freshmen and transfer students from Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Entering freshmen must have a 3.5 or higher GPA and ACT of at least 25 or 1130 SAT (combined math and critical reading). Transfer students must have a 3.0 or higher college GPA and 24 transferable hours."</p>

<p>The University of South Carolina waives the OOS tuition differential for many of its scholarship recipients.</p>

<p>Academic</a> Scholarships</p>

<p>Clemson University used to have a similiar policy, not sure if they still do.</p>

<p>I've seen some state schools that waive OOS tuition for outstanding students...unfortunately, I can't recall which ones.</p>

<p>3 years ago when S was in the hunt, the merit aid to UMich for those receiving significant aid appeared to be proportional to the IS or OOS tuition, depending on residency.</p>

<p>Michigan State gives a combination of things to top OOS students, mostly through the Honors College. It is tied to ACT/SAT scores or NMF status. MSU would have been cheaper than any of our public universities.</p>

<p>U North Texas doies the same thing. There are a lot of state schools that are trying to improve their profiles. If you qualify for even a small scholarship they will give in state tuition that really amplifies the value of the scholarship. They are worth looking at since the total cost of attending is often less than an instate school. Check the oos you are most interesetd in and see if they offer it. Sometimes it is buried in the information so you may need to call and ask.</p>
