Funds for major not in-state?

<p>So I've heard a lot about people (at least in my state, maryland) getting state funding if no schools in the state offer a specific major, but I can't seem to find much information about it online. If a private school, but no public schools, offer the major, can a student still receive funding? What about if there is a public school in state that offers a concentration of the subject, but not an actual major? Any information or links you may have would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Maryland participates in the Academic Common Market. If your major is not offered at a public university in Maryland, it may be possible for you to study at a public university in one of the participating states at in-state cost. The programs covered, and the institutions that participate change from time to time, so you need to check up on the current policy at <a href=“http://www.sreb.org/page/1304/academic_common_market.html[/url]”>http://www.sreb.org/page/1304/academic_common_market.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>In the past, certain Maryland Merit scholarship money could be taken out of state as well if the major was not offered in state. The case I recall was for a student who went to Penn State for Meteorology. I don’t know if that is still possible. The information might be at [url=&lt;a href=“http://www.mdgo4it.mhec.maryland.gov/]MDgo4it[/url”&gt;http://www.mdgo4it.mhec.maryland.gov/]MDgo4it[/url</a>]</p>

<p>Good luck with everything!</p>
