<p>I have only heard that Ohio is offering OOS instate tuition as a part of their financial aid package. Are there any other states that offer this deal?</p>
<p>University of Minnesota has done away with OOS tuition. Non-residents now pay the same as residents.</p>
<p>So what's the benefit for Minnesota residents? Is it easier for them to get in?</p>
<p>Clemson does, or at least it did last year.</p>
<p>Scipio - great info!!!!</p>
<p>But when I looked at the UMinn website I couldn't figure out exactly what it means...what would an out of state resident pay?</p>
<p>According to the website, an OOS student would pay $2,000 more per semester than an in state student except for students from ND, SD, Wisconsin, and Manitoba who pay instate (or less)rates.</p>
<p>The 2007-2008 instate tuition is listed as $9,885 a year.</p>
<p>Edited to add : the dollar amount above includes fees.</p>
<p>If you live in western state (AZ, NM, NV, UT, CO, WY, MT, ID, OR, WA), be sure to check out the Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education (WICHE)--for undergraduate, graduate and professional schools which offer special tuition rates and waivers at participating state public universities.
OOS students are eligible for in-state plus 50% tuition rates. (Higher than straight in-state tuition, but still a lot lower than OOS rates....)</p>
<p>So Minn tuition is about 14K for most OOS and that appears to be good at their flagship campus (Twin Cities?) also?</p>
<p>The Twin Cities campus is the website I got that info from.</p>
<p>University of South Carolina offered a couple of OOS student scholarships that resulted in in-state tuition. I can't think of the names of the scholarships--I'll bet they're listed on their website). But I know they have them because S received one and so did a friend of my D). Pretty awesome deal. USC has been very focused on diversifying its student body with more OOS kids.</p>
<p>(I am particularly fond of this memory because my son is NOT a superstar student, so was a nice and very unexpected surprise. Of course, he chose another school...)</p>
<p>Southeast Missouri State, Southern Illinois University, and Murray State University all offer instate tuition to certain counties surrounding the other schools. For example, I'm from Illinois but go to SEMO and if I were actually paying tuition, I'd be paying instate rather than out-of-state.</p>
<p>For freshman OOS students at UNM, (Univ of NM), 2 different scholies:</p>
<p>The</a> Amigo Scholars Program</p>
<p>The</a> National Scholars Program</p>
<p>For OOS transfer students:</p>
<p>Amigo</a> Transfer Scholarship Program</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>

<p>I think that the university of texas in austin gives in state tuition as a scholarship to out-of-state National Merit Scholars.</p>
<p>Anyone receiving a "named" scholarship at U of South Carolina also gets the in state tuition rate. The Cooper and McKissick Scholarships are the ones that carry this perk. Both are for out of state students. They also both have a scholarship attached to them.</p>
<p>^^^My S got the McKissick and then decided not to go. It is a good deal.</p>
<p>Clemson does not offer instate tuition to all OOS. There is a minimum SAT/GPA requirement to receive a merit scholarship which results in also receiving instate tution. It may have changed but that's how it worked when S was looking at Clemson a few years ago.</p>
<p>S also got mail (in '05) from Univ. of Alabama saying a 1400 on SAT (old) would get you instate tuition at Alabama.</p>
<p>Pittsburgh is quite generous with OOS scholarships. One is an honors tuition scholarship and is equal to the full OOS tuition. The extra perk is that there is no dollar amount attached to it. If the tuition goes up then so does the scholarship.</p>
<p>I had not heard that about Uminn. Interesting. Must want more OOS undergrads. That's a good price.</p>

<p>We got an out of state tuition waiver as part of our fin. aid package at Texas A & M . Many scholarships at A & M qualify you to recieve instate tuition.</p>
<p>There are some new rules for OOS tuition at U of MN campuses.
Changes</a> in fall 2008</p>
