<p>the solution in Virginia is somewhat obvious (at least to me). Reduce the OOS students! Eliminate the financial aid that UVa & W&M provides to OOS students – require them to be full pay. </p>
<p>But, let’s be real. A $4k state merit grant to a private college is only gonna be a marginal benefit for those middle class kids who opt to attend that private college. Thus, it would be a determining factor in only a small number of cases. (And, of course, it would enable such private college to reduce its own need-based aid by the amount of the state grant.)</p>
