State Universities That Offer In-State Tuition for OOS with High Stats

[Anonymous]

Colorado State offered significant merit money to high-stats kid that would have made it on-par with in-state. Also, second the suggestion of Utah and getting residency.

Five year ago, Pitt was handing out $20K merit like candy. They are shifting to need-based aid, and large scholarships are rare. URM scholarships (Cathedral of Learning scholarship) and women applying to engineering = the most $$$.

Arts and Science is $52K next year. The other colleges are more expensive, going up to $62K for nursing.

As another poster indicated, Pitt isn't as generous with aid anymore. I've heard University of Tennessee will make it in state tuition for kids majoring in Supply Chain Management.

While these won't all list in-state tuition, you can google "Name of School + merit chart" and find some good deals on tuition.

ASU
MSU--They also have a special scholarship for students from Maryland last I checked.
U of SC as you noted
WVU
Alabama

Also, Dickinson College offers a huge scholarship to one more students from Maryland. An entrepreneur who attended has funded the scholarship.

Also very aware some of the schools that offer merit aid based on GPA often use their own formula to calculate it, often only computing the GPA for core subjects and not including electives. We didn’t know this and thought my DD would be eligible for more merit aid than she ultimately was. She ended up staying in state.

Dickinson is a private school. No tuition difference between in and out of state
