<p>Does anyone know of a list, thread, website - that lists schools that give in-state tuition to out-of-state students for good grades and good test scores?</p>
<p>They appear in the thread above - "Schools know for good merit aid".</p>
<p>I've looked at that thread. Lots of stuff there. And - I'm looking for a list - surely someone has compiled one somewhere - of schools that offer in state tuition for good students. Maybe not. But it's tedious to go to each school's website to try and find the info. Any other ideas?</p>
<p>Nope. It's hard work but worth it. Any list would be out of date when published anyway. Many times that info is hidden. Be sure to check this situation : at some schools there is no specific specific listed OOS to instate scholarship ....but...if you dig deeper, if you receive ANY merit scholarship BINGO you get in-state tuition.</p>
<p>Pitt offers a lot of scholarships to OOS. I got full tuition, but others got enough money to basically lower them to instate level.</p>
<p>Some state colleges trying to build up their geographic diversity by offering in-state tuition to everyone. Southwest Minnesota State University and Bemidji State University are examples.

<p>In the South, we have something called the Common Academic Marketplace which is managed through the Southern Regional Education Board.</p>
<p>If for example, you live in South Carolina and your child wants to major in photojournalism, they may be able to get in-state tuition at Western Kentucky University.</p>
<p>Until recently, students could minor in Jewish Studies at University of Maryland and get in state tuition from a bunch of southern states. Now I think it requires a major, but I am not sure.</p>
<p>If you goggle Southern Regional Education Board, perhaps you could figure out what the Midwest version of this organization is.</p>
<p>I do not know list, but MSU (Michigan State) gave D in-state (we are OOS) for high GPA + score along with a lot of other priviliges. This still was much more expensive than any in-state, since all of them gave her Merit $$. D has chosen in-state school where we are paying portion of R&B, while tuition + the rest of R&B are covered by Merit $$. If you care about $$, in-state is definately the way to go.</p>
<p>It depends on where you live, but on the West Coast there is the WICHE student exchange program. WICHE</a> - Student Exchange Programs</p>
<p>Try the University of South Carolina</p>
<p>I don't know of ANY school that gives in state tuition based solely on good grades. BUT there are a number where those "good grades" would net you a scholarship of a specific dollar amount and getting that SCHOLARSHIP would also get you the instate tuition rate. Two off the top of my head..University of North Texas, and University of South Carolina.</p>
<p>The University of Minnesota has a Gold National scholarship which gets you instate tuition. The OOS tuition is only $4000/yr more than the instate if you don't get the scholarship.</p>
<p>U of Minnesota - Morris, a public LAC, also offers in-state tuition to everyone.</p>
<p>Are you a National Merit Finalist?</p>
<p>Keilexandra has graciously complied a list of school that offer scholarships (some even in-state tuition) for NMFs.</p>
<p>It's an ever changing list. I have yet to find a comprehensive one. I know that if you pick a major that is not offered by any state school in your state, there is often reciprocity. Georgia Tech benefits greatly from this arrangement as it has some unusual sub specialties in engineering majors that are not offered in many places elsewhere.</p>
<p>Here are some state schools that we found to be generous with merit scholarships to OOS students: Clemson, U of Arizona, Indiana. One that told us they don't have merit scholarships for OOS students: Va Tech. (These results based on apps submitted Fall 2006.)</p>
<p>The University of Delaware offered my son a merit scholarship that would have brought his cost of attendance down to approximately the cost of in-state attendance at the University of Maryland (where he got no merit money). He went to Maryland anyway, but still, it was rather obvious how Delaware decided on the amount of the merit scholarship.</p>
<p>KansasGirl I'm also a Kansas resident. Many states will offer in-state tuition to residents of nearby states. One example: U of Arkansas in Fayetteville offers in-state tuition to residents of KS, OK, TX, MO, MS if they have an ACT score of 25 or more. Check out your surrounding states. Some don't offer in-state, but a large reduction in the out-of-state tuition to residents of neighboring states (friend's kid goes to U.of Nebraska). I would look up the websites of schools that interest you or call their admissions offices.
Some schools will offer in-state to residents of certain counties in adjoining states (U. of MO at KC offers in-state to Kansas residents in the Kansas City metro area).</p>

<p>I believe the OP is inquiring about the Academic Common Market:</p>
<p>Academic</a> Common Market/Regional Contract Program</p>
<p>If you're public in-state doesn't offer a certain major and you attend a public out-of-state school that offers this major, and maintain a 3.0 gpa, you only have to pay in-state tuition. I know a few people who pay for school this way.</p>
