<p>Is it true that state schools are more stingy with financial aid of out-of-state matriculants than with that of in-state matriculants?</p>
<p>Honestly, I hope that state schools provide financial assistance to their tax payers BEFORE they provide it to out of state residents. After all, residents of the state are paying taxes to support the state universities. Students from out of state are not making the same contribution (and YES I do know that they pay increased tuition also).</p>
<p>I believe that is true, at least from what I have seen and heard. There could, of course, be exceptions.</p>
