<p>I think UNC allocates 6% to internationals and legacies leaving just 12% for normal OOS.</p>
<p>Nope. UNC does not have any quotas for legacy/geographic region when it comes to OOS. Everyone is thrown into one pot and judged accordingly. Given, it is easier to get in as an OOS legacy, but there is no quota.</p>

<p>Re “Texas universities offers instate tuition to OOS students who receive a competitive scholarship of $1000 or more from the university attending. Outside scholarship don’t count for this”.</p>
<p>Can you, or anyone else, point to anything that supports this? Not trying to give you a hard time and I have no evidence to the contrary, it is just that I would be glad to see something concrete about instate tuition being offered in conjunction with a scholarship of $1000 at UT. It seems like a rather low threshold, which would turn $1000 scholarships into $23,000 scholarships based on what has been written about the difference between OOS and IS tutition.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>This is so misunderstood! I was chatting about this on one of my out of state college visit trips. This mom was thinking that if her daughter got any scholarship anywhere - e.g. merit aid at another school, the local $1000 American Legion scholarship - that her D could get in-state tution at UT. I gently tried to encourage her to research further because I knew that was wrong.</p>
<p>I remember that JolynneSmith’s son was interested in UT but OOS tuition was too steep - he ended up going for one of the terrific deals at Alabama.</p>
<p>I also think this does not always work at UT, but this post links to the Texas “rule” which is in the state’s Administrative Code</p>
<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1063537782-post2.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1063537782-post2.html</a></p>
<p>I think this is why some $1000 scholarships work and some don’t. It depends on who awards the scholarship. The code says that the $1000 scholarship must be
</p>
<p>It clearly says “competitive scholarship from the institution.” </p>
<p>Gotta love a CC’er who cites the Texas Administrative Code. I’ve done that myself! (The rules for whether the class of '11 has to take a 4th year of science are so muddy that after getting three different “final answers” from various experts in our district, I finally looked up the rule in the Texas Administrative Code and sent it around.)</p>
<p>After reading FutureActuary’s post, I am depressed. As a PA resident I knew that we have some of the highest IS tuitions with the likes of Penn State (who gives very little in merit or aid to anyone), but reading that some states IS tuition is cheaper than our Community College just floors me.</p>
<p>Long Haul - I know what you mean. My COA at Delaware County CC as a 3/4 time student was over $17000, this is while living in a “participating district.” Montco CC was even higher, since I’m not in participating district. Also looked at Temple and West Chester, (both considered publics) and there’s just no way I could do it - since I already have a bachelors I don’t qualify for any scholarships/grants/state loans, and my EFC as an independent student is too high for any of the Federal loan programs. It really makes sense, why all the small LACs with good FA are getting a lot of PAs best students or why they are leaving PA. </p>
<p>Personally, I’ve decided to self-study since it’s not the credits/degree I need, and I’ll just pay for the 3-4 course I absolutely have to have done at a school.</p>
<p>As I was looking these schools up, I almost started thinking I should move to Wyoming or a similar state. :)</p>
<p>And don’t forget our “cheap” car insurance when tabulating COA of Community College – we have no public transportation to our CC – in my NE Philly suburbs, commuting to Temple via SEPTA is the cheapest school for us. The price difference in tuition between Temple & CC is less than purchasing a car & insurance.</p>
<p>My youngest is a rising 4th grader – I should move before her college time comes :)</p>
<h1>186: UGA also awards a good number of in-state tuition waivers each year, often through [url=<a href=“http://www.admissions.uga.edu/article/scholarships_at_uga.html]Charter”>http://www.admissions.uga.edu/article/scholarships_at_uga.html]Charter</a> Scholarships<a href=“instate%20tuition%20waiver%20+%20$1k”>/url</a>. Of the ~300 awarded last year, I understand about 1/3 went to OOS.</h1>
<p>Annual tuition at Bemidji State in Bemidji MN is now over $6500; it’s gone up but as always, in state, out of state, and international students all pay the low in-state rate.n They definitely want OOS students. (My daughter is heading to Bemidji Saturday to be an immersion camp counselor at Concordia Language Villages. Bemidji is beautiful - in the summer.)</p>
<p>Regarding out-of-state tuition waivers at the University of Texas - they are very hard to obtain. My son DID get a $1k scholarship from the school of engineering. When he inquired about the OOS tuition waiver, the lady at UT politely laughed at him! Here is what the website says:</p>
<p>"Out-of-state tuition waivers are extremely hard to obtain because the Cockrell School is allotted very few of them for undergraduates each year. Most of these waivers are already promised to students on a multi-year basis as part of a scholarship packet. For any remaining waivers, there is no application process. We award waivers automatically to eligible students with the best academics. Recipients are notified by email if they are selected to receive a waiver. If a student is selected to receive a waiver, it will likely be for one semester only, and would not continue further.</p>
<p>Out-of-state students can establish Texas residency a number of ways. Find detailed information on the university’s Establishing Texas Residency page."</p>
<p>It IS interesting that UT straight out tells you that OOS students can get Texas residency! I know some people on CC get very offended by the idea that out-of-staters would try to get get cheaper tuition by establishing in-state residency, but it doesn’t seem to bother the school!</p>
<p>^^ Bemidji is beautiful in the winter too, just COLD.</p>
<p>^ I wonder if TX might come out ahead in the end as students stay in the state after graduation…?</p>
<p>^ I can see my son doing that!</p>
