Video Overview
In-state 4-Year universities are expensive…but, the out-of-state college price is out-of-control. Fortunately, there are a plethora of college discount opportunities.
In this video, we will discourse various tuition discounting opportunities for out-of-state students seeking to substantially reduce their tuition costs.
More On Tuition Reciprocity Programs
Allows students to attend colleges or universities in a different state than the one in which they reside for in-state or reduced tuition.
Usually, these programs are reserved for students who live in the same region but not the same state. Certain programs are tailored to students who study an in-demand field, such as nursing.
In some cases, reciprocity only applies to public schools in the region. In other cases, public and private schools partner to lower tuition across the board.
Many states have programs that allow residents to attend university in another state, without having to pay out-of-state tuition. Check with your state, or with universities that you're interested in, about available tuition exchange or reciprocity programs, and ask about how to sign up. The FAFSA is not required for these programs, generally.
Some larger programs include:
Midwestern Region
Students from Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Wisconsin may be eligible for tuition reductions at certain Midwest public and private schools through the Midwest Student Exchange.
New England Region
The New England Regional Student Program enables New England residents to enroll at out-of-state New England public colleges and universities at a discount. Students are eligible when they enroll in an approved major that is not offered by the public colleges and universities in their home-state. More than 700 undergraduate and graduate degree programs are offered. Participating states are Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.
