What are resident/Non-resident differences other than tuition?

<p>The only one I know of are some scholarships are for residents only, some for non-residents only, and some have award differences depending on whether you live in the state.</p>

<p>But are there others Google can’t easily find?</p>

<p>Bonus Question: If you pay in-state tuition through the Academic Common Market, are you considered a resident for everything else at the college?</p>

<p>The most notable difference is the cost of attendance (as you noted). Some schools have merit awards that are for instate students only. Some states have need based awards that are for instate residents only (you would not be deemed an instate resident for this as common market student…your state of residency would still be YOUR state). Some state schools have a much LOWER acceptance rate for OOS students than for instate students…they only accept a certain %age of OOS applicants…thus making acceptance more difficult for OOS students.</p>

<p>Once you enroll, the only difference you would see as an OOS student is your bill.</p>

<p>If you’re asking about scholarship eligibility…</p>

<p>Some schools who participate in ACM will not award a scholarship to a ACM student because they’re already getting a discount. Or, they’ll let you pick between ACM and an OOS scholarship…taking only the one that gives you the best deal.</p>
