<p>lets say a student was wanting to go to ucla or berkeley or ut austin, but was from out of state and had the credentials to be admitted, would they still get the "average grant" or award, etc that the schools normally give to students?</p>
<p>in a word, NO. Remember public universities are committed to providing their state funds to their state residents (taxpayers).</p>
<p>thanks for the reply</p>
<p>they still do give out funds but they do favor state applicants.</p>
<p>thanks man</p>
<p>For the top public universities, out of staters have to either have much higher numbers than in staters or have some other hook to be admitted. (athletes, auditioning performing arts, URM status, celebrity status, some schools count legacy as instaters such as UVa) If they are waaay up there and desireable to the school, they can get merit money and prefered financial aid packaging. I know someone who got a great award from Michigan, and some athletes who got money from UVA.</p>
<p>i have a 3.6 and was looking into ucla berkeley and ut austin</p>
<p>Rank is ever so important for UT austin. If you are a NMF you probably will get out-of-state tuition waived... just pay instate plus you get a scholarship. If you are not top ten percent class rank with good SAT scores, your chance of getting accepted is low.</p>
<p>what kind of aid to UCLA/UCB give??? AMOUN T</p>
