Schools that offer instate deals to out of state kids??

<p>there are some schools that offer instate tuition to out of state students, assuming they are good students. Winthrop of SC is one I believe. Is anyone aware of states or schools that do this, particularly in the south or eastcoast? D is a jr, 1250 student, 3.7. Would like to go out of state (FL).</p>

<p>thanks very much</p>

<p>UConn and UWashington both waived OOS for my NY daughter.</p>

<p>I was going to suggest Miami of Ohio, because I had a vague memory that they charged the same tuition for in state and oos. But checking their website, it looks like they charge the same tuition for in state and oos.... BUT, every Ohio resident gets an automatic scholarship of $11k - $14k, so your net result is it costs less for instate.</p>

<p>it generally depend on the program

the 2nd link will take you to the academic common market an agreement between 16 states that compromise the southern regional education board</p>

<p>I contacted the University of Maryland, and the admissions rep said they didn't, to his knowledge (we're in New York).</p>

<p>Also, for anyone else who posts in the affirmative, can you please specify which year you're talking about or how long ago it was? I think these policies are subject to change.</p>

<p>Also, was there a GPA requirement or any other hoops to jump through?</p>

<p>I am interested in University of Wisconsin for my daughter.</p>

<p>And what about the Virginia schools?</p>

<p>heres some of the southern schools that participate</p>

<p>and the midwestern schools

<p>UVa absolutely does not waive the OOS fees. they count on it. They have no need to as the have 4x the applicants for OOS spots. I am paying full boat OOS for D1, so I know too well</p>

<p>RE the western schools under the Western Undergraduate Education program (or for a term/year at another school, National Student Exchange), the tuition is not quite the resident tuition, it's 150% of the in-state tuition, but still substantially lower than out-of-state/non-resident tuition.</p>

<p>WICHE (the companion program) for grad students allows for similar tuition breaks when the student is attending grad school. It's very tough to get awarded but a great $$$ break if you can swing it! A friend's son from HI is attending UCLA dental school under the WICHE program & the folks are very glad for the reduction in $$$$ (HI doesn't have an official dental school).</p>

<p>I concur with 66472 on Virginia schools. I was told by a financial aid officer at Virginia Tech that they are happy with their existing 30% OOS, and are not trying to increase that percentage by offering financial incentives. Not even to top students.</p>

<p>University of South Carolina (Columbia).</p>

<p>My S is from Georgia but was offered a named scholarship (can't recall which one) that offered in state tuition, plus money towards room and board.
It ended up even being cheaper than UGA or GA tech with the Hope Scholarship.</p>

<p>Too bad he didn't choose it. I need to make clear that he's a decent student but no star, GPA-wise----90%. He did have a good SAT though--1400. This was a couple years ago. We surmise perhaps they offered it to him because he requested a major that's not requested by many incoming students (Geography) and is an Eagle scout. Or maybe it was the SAT. We were really surprised he was offered this. It was a good surprise though!</p>

<p>Oh, well. I didn't think it was likely, but I thought I would ask. I guess Michigan falls into the same category?</p>

<p>I heard of someone who received an OOS waiver from UT-Austin, but that was a few years ago.</p>

<p>We live in Washington. My son has been deluged with scholarship offers from OOS schools, but from UW and WASU? Bupkis. Zilch. Goose-egg. Even public universities from other states have offered him money, but bloody-all nothing from the local publics.</p>

<p>I am so confused...</p>

<p>(edited to add) WASU did send a letter hinting that scholarship money might be available, but nothing like the come ons from OOS colleges.</p>

<p>Adrew5449, Could you tell me what kind of stats your daughter had to get in-state tuition from the University of Washington? I had been led to believe that there were very few breaks for out of state residents.</p>

<p>My oos S was also offered the instate tuition deal at University South Carolina. I don't think it had anything to do with the chosen major because his was not unusual (criminal justice). I believe it was more stat. based. There are two levels of OOS tution waiver scholarships at USC. One is the Coopers and the other is the McKissick. S got Coopers (instate tution plus $4000 per year). 3 other students in his graduating class got McKissick (instate tuition plus $2000/yr)</p>

<p>Clemson Univ. will offer instate tuition scholarships but to the best of my recollection the SAT requirement was around 1350 (old SAT).</p>

<p>S got a postcard from Univ. of Alabama(in 2205) saying they would offer instate tution for (old) SAT of 1400 or over.</p>

<p>To make a long story short, Daughter was (still is) Irish-American female (URM?) applying to engineering schools. Her stats were very good but I don't remember what they were exactly. Lots of leadership, not as many APs as some, tough private high school. </p>

<p>She did mention in an essay that several relatives had graduated from UW but not direct legacy. Friend's daughter got the OOS waived when friend (UW alum) called and asked for the waiver. ($9K is worth the effort)</p>

<p>Many of the schools we visited in the East (home) said they were proud that they had students from all states and x countries. Maybe the NY card? (Wait, that wouldn't work for UConn...)</p>

<p>Your guess is as good as mine. She's very happy now (though still URM) at Northwestern McCormick.</p>

<p>Rick: Niece is at Gonzaga over Wazzu because it ended up costing her less...</p>

<p>Wazzu was $283/semester when I went there...</p>

<p>Rick T - the "come-ons" from schools your S has never applied to are one thing. Just because you haven't heard from your own instate (or any other school which might be of interest) doesn't mean your S might not command attractive merit $$ from them (excuse the double negative). Those "come-on" schools are marketing and trying to get your kid to even apply, knowing that kids of his caliber probably don't often do so.</p>

<p>Most schools will wait for someone to apply, then trot out what they have to offer to entice them to come. So don't be confused.</p>

<p>I think this thread is about in-state publics which offer in-state pricing to OOS students they want to attract, as a form of merit $.</p>

<p>There is another situation where in-state tuition is offered to OOS students and there has been a thread on this. This is where neighboring state schools offer in-state tuition, as a sort of reciprocal agreement, to kids from nearby states. Some have restrictions - eg, in our region, some (all?) of the New England states will offer in-state tuition if the kid's own in-state public doesn't offer a specific major.</p>

<p>If in the top 10 students in your class (not top 10%, but #1-10), Bard College has program that allows you to pay what your in-state tuition at a state school would charge. See the following:
<a href="http://www.bard.edu/admission/finances/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.bard.edu/admission/finances/&lt;/a>
Then go to "excellence and equal cost program"</p>

<p>ADREW: yes, tuition was $283/smemster. And we griped about it! H and I lived in those old WWII era married student apartments near the golf course for $68/month at the close of the 70's. And walked to class in the snow. Uphill. Both ways. But we sure had fun!</p>
