<p>Does anyone know under what circumstances UNC (or any state school, for that matter) would be willing to extend in-state tuition to an out-of-state student? I've heard that occasionally UNC offers this benefit to those students that it wants to attend; does anything in particular qualify a student for this?</p>
<p>Any information or experience would be appreciated.</p>
<p>The only way you can get in-state tuition is by getting a full ride merit scholarship, or by holding an athletic scholarship, and even in these limited circumstances it is a very controversial issue in NC.</p>
<p>Alright, thanks for the information.</p>
<p>I’m sorry to see the North Carolinians are so protective of their University, although I guess I can understand why.</p>
<p>Graduate students are sometimes offered tuition remission, which reduces their tuition costs to in-state levels.</p>
<p>For undergraduates, though, TonyBallioni is right – recipients of full-ride academic or athletic scholarships “pay” in-state tuition, although of course if you’re on a full-ride scholarship you aren’t really paying anything at all.</p>
