Are there any other Universities that have this policy?
University of Arkansas offers in-state tuition for Texas residents.
It’s not uncommon. I live in metro Detroit. The University of Toledo (an hour south, just over the OH border) aggressively markets itself to MI residents, offering in-state tuition. One of the local directionals (Eastern Mich) offers in-state tuition to OH residents as well.
@T26E4 Interesting…do you see this as becoming more common? Universities are very sensitive when it comes to poaching recruits from their states. Seems like this could merge into a similar pattern. Imagine the University of Oklahoma offering in-state tuition to TX residents. I don’t think TX would take kindly to some of their top academic students leaving to go there lol.
Frankly, I think many schools have reciprocal agreements that might be worked out on a higher level – good for the consumers I think.
In your scenario, how would TX stop an OK college from offering a discount? By what means could they stop it? It’s the market in practice. Their only reply is to do the same – offer lower tuition for OK residents.
Oh I know they couldn’t stop it…but just like with recruiting they wouldn’t be happy about it either. So yes their only recourse would be to do the same. My questions remains…do you see this happening a lot more frequently or are the colleges listed above outliers?
Heck, Valdosta St. didn’t just offer it to 1 state…they went to 3 states.
Youngstown State (OH) offers close to in-state tuition for residents of some western PA counties.

@moscott OU offers a very generous National Merit scholarship. At the National Merit BBQ the scholars were asked to stand when their state was called, there were more National Merit scholars from Texas than from any other state. So Oklahoma already is “poaching” top TX students 
Agreed, however it seems to be more of a result from offering generous NM. To me it would be interesting to see if this develops into something bigger. Not to disparage some state U’s but it would be(Imo) beneficial for some students who are pretty much locked into their state U simply because of cost. This would open up things to a lot of kids wanting to afford to go out of state.
You will not be seeing such an arrangement at top state universities. Schools doing this are usually suffering from falling enrolment.
^Yes, that’s why the University of Maine started doing that this year. They saw a significant increase in enrollment, too.
most texas school grant in state tuition for those students they give scholarships to
@moscott my d could have gotten a better deal at TAMU with National Merit but OU offered more intangibles and was a better “fit” Schools will do what the can to attract the best students.
Lake Superior State offers in state for all 50 plus Ontario. Ferris State was for some nominal gpa/ACT combo - like 3.0/23 or something. There are others… Just takes some looking.
