Sorry, if I wasn’t clear. Some states allow their residents to use state grants at schools in reciprocal states.
But I agree, you wouldn’t get state grants from a state you aren’t a resident of.
Pell Grant are federal and can be used at any school that participates in the Federal Aid program.
Merit scholarships might be available at OOS schools.
@OceanIsle for the PHEAA grant I think FAFSA and PA state grant form have to be filed before May 1 and a PA school be listed first in the FAFSA.
My kids could access the state grant website in late May I think to see their PHEAA grant eligiblity.
Net price calculators of instate colleges gave us an estimate of the state grant we might receive (we didn’t qualify for Pell).
