Can I qualify for in-state tuition?

Paying for College
1

<p>I am wondering if there are any Engineering majors at Georgia Tech, North Carolina State University, or University of Alabama at Birmingham that will waive out-of-state tuition. I am a Tennessee resident and will enroll for the school year starting fall of this year. (I have heard rumors that they will waive OOS at Georgia Tech if one studies Nuclear Engineering.)</p>

<p>Thank you for your time and help; financial aid is a nightmare</p>

<p>Why don’t you call GT and ask them?</p>

<p>I’ll be doing that Monday. That’s also when FAFSA results will be released. Procrastination couldn’t have chosen a worse time to afflict me haha</p>

<p>UA-Birmingham is still awarding merit to OOS students. What are your stats? Send an app in ASAP. The scholarship award may be substantial so that you’ll pay less than instate.</p>

<p>Have you applied to any of these schools yet?</p>

<p>For Georgia Tech it may have been possible at one time, but Georgia Tech withdrew from the academic common market in 2011:</p>

<p>UA - Tuscaloosa also awards merit aid to OOS. If your ACT/SAT & grades are high enough, you get full tuition. That still leaves $10-15k for room and board.</p>

<p>Are you already into those schools? If not, it is a little late to be applying. If you are already in, it is easier to ask them and get a firm answer than to ask us to guess.</p>
