<p>Does anyone have information or opinions on what States have been and most likely will be funding their State colleges adequately. Or what State does the best job funding higher education.</p>
<p>I am in NJ and funding is dismal and will only get worse- the State budget is a disgrace.</p>
<p>tom, I think the state of Missouri seems to do a decent job funding higher education. I don't know about the bigger schools like University of Missouri and UMKC. SEMO and Missouri State along with what is now Missouri Science and Technolgoy something (Rolla) seem to give a lot of scholarships. And they give a lot of money to out-of-state people too:) We have a lot of people from my high school (in Illinois) who go to SEMO, Rolla, and Missouri State for this reason. Illinois is horrible!</p>
<p>Nobody knows about it but Wyoming really funds the University Well. Being a small state in population Wyoming only has 1 four year University. with the state running mulit-Billion, with a B, dollar surpluses the last few years the University has gotten pretty much everything they have asked for.</p>
<p>Out of state Tuition is only about 10K with instate Tuition at about 3K. They just set up a trust fund where any graduate of a Wyo HS with about a B average and a certain ACT score, I will have to check the number, goes to school tuition free. The Colorado Kids are really starting to go here in significant numbers.</p>

<p>barrons- thanks that was what I was looking for.</p>
<p>tom1944 - fwiw, we picked up during visits that privates usually promoted graduating in 4 years, most definitely, and that at least one public commented that graduating students were sometimes taking 5 years. this threw up a red flag with us to ask more questions and it sounded like state funding cuts were making it more difficult for students to get into some classes. be sure that you are asking colleges about how long it takes for their students to graduate........4 or 5 years?</p>
