<p>University of Delaware and the University of Pittsburgh offer merit aid to top out of state students. UD is 30 minutes from Philadelphia. Pittsburgh is a much more cosmopolitan city than you might imagine.</p>
<p>(For anyone else reading this thread looking for a university that meets 100% of need for out of state students, check out the University of Virginia. They also increase aid after a student takes out the maximum amount of federally subsidized loans. However, out of state admissions are extremely competitive).</p>
