You will have to go to the relevant sites for your states. If you are in New England, for example, you need to google the New England Regional Student Program and read what they have to say. But, my understanding on some of these programs is that it involves state schools, not private ones. If your chosen program is not offered in any public college in your state, you can get instate tuition or reduced tuition at a public college/uni in a participating state. But there was a time that the DC program did include some private schools or at least funds toward them.

So to answer your question directly, you have to declare a major not offered in any Public college in your state in order to get reduced rates at a participating state's public college for the most part. I have not seen where you have to stay instate if only private colleges in your state offer the field of study. There can be exceptions to this, however, so you HAVE to read the exact rules carefully.
