Public Univ that gives OOS instate tuition as scholarship

[bluejay]

Pittsburgh is quite generous with OOS scholarships. One is an honors tuition scholarship and is equal to the full OOS tuition. The extra perk is that there is no dollar amount attached to it. If the tuition goes up then so does the scholarship.

I had not heard that about Uminn. Interesting. Must want more OOS undergrads. That's a good price.

So Minn tuition is about 14K for most OOS and that appears to be good at their flagship campus (Twin Cities?) also?

Yep. 10char

We got an out of state tuition waiver as part of our fin. aid package at Texas A & M . Many scholarships at A & M qualify you to recieve instate tuition.

There are some new rules for OOS tuition at U of MN campuses.

University of Nebraska has a series of three "named" scholarships it gives to OOS students based on ACT or SAT and class rank, with award levels at 100%, 66% and 25% of the difference between in-state and OOS.

Thanks everyone. I know that Michigan has a 35% OOS population. Are they stingy with aids?

Interesting how Minnesota is doing tuition- current students with old rules, new with new ones. They are finally dealing with the annoying fact that Wis residents were paying less to go to Minn than their own residents (due to UW's lower tuition).

Public LAC U of MN - Morris charges OOS students at the same rate as state residents.

UIUC offered it to my son 5 years ago - I don't know if they still do that...

I agree with Bluejay. The University of Pittsburgh seems to give full-tuition scholarships to OOS kids with CR/M of 1450 and above. And room and board is pretty reasonable.

Regarding Univ of Pittsburgh. In addition to the full tuition honors scholarship mentioned above, for those OOS students with slightly lesser SAT scores, but (I believe) above 1350 CR/M, Pitt also offers a $10K scholarship which brings the tuition cost down to about the in-state cost.
