This is the reason that so many students from PA attend West Virginia University, which is a stone’s throw from the Pennsylvania and Maryland borders. State schools in PA are expensive and from what I understand, they are notoriously stingy with aid. Here in WV, in-state students with a B average and a 22 on the SAT qualify for our $4,750- per-year PROMISE scholarship, which was initiated to keep our students in-state. S1 qualified for this and it goes a long way when tuition at all state schools, not just WVU, is reasonable to begin with. </p>
