All state schools charge OOS tuition. Some will waive the OOS differential if a student is from a state with which it has an enrolment agreement. Other schools will waive the OOS differential if the student meets published GPA and SAT/ACT thresholds.
Actually this isn’t true. There are some state schools, usually directionals, that do not charge an OOS rate. I’m asking for people who know of such schools to please list them. (And of course I know that some OOS schools have the policies that you mentioned.)
Western Illinois University has the same tuition for OOS as instate.
And it also gives merit scholarships for rather modest stats to further reduce costs.
Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, MI
Tuition: $11,128
Room and board: $10,370
Presidential scholarship - competitive merit
4Ward Graduation Scholarship - not sure if it’s automatic
The above rates apply to all US and Canada
Almost the same rate - instate tuition plus $1 per credit for OOS students (including international): Chadron State (Nebraska). Direct costs for OOS/international: ~$15,500. Scholarships for stats are competitive:

University of Minnesota - Morris used to have no out-of-state extra tuition, but now has out-of-state extra tuition of $2,054, raising the overall cost estimate from $24,860 (in-state) to $26,914 (out-of-state). For MSEP students, the out-of-state extra tuition is $1,040, with an overall cost estimate of $25,900. Some places have reciprocity agreements that allow students from there to pay the in-state tuition.
Although University of Wyoming has OOS rates, it may surprise some Illinois residents that the OOS COA at U of Wyoming is roughly what IL in-state costs.
U of Wyoming offers the Brown and Gold Commitment Scholarship for non-resident first year students. It’s not clear to me whether this is a four year scholarship or one year.
The scholarship amount is based on ACT/SAT scores and HS Unweighted GPA and comes in four levels: $10.5k, $7k, $4k, $2K
The Brown and Gold at Wyoming (used to be Rocky Mt Scholars) is each year, for 4 years (8 consecutive semesters), and requires a 3.0 to retain it. The COA might be listed at $29k, but my daughter never paid anywhere close to that. Almost everything is included with your student fees (or at a reduced rate), including D1 football and basketball, theater, music concerts, Friday night activities and shows. There are also department scholarships and alum scholarships that are awarded pretty liberally. Everyone who does study abroad gets $1k-$2k from Dick Cheney (and the semester in London is $9k for everyone, instate or OOS).
