[quote=Anonymous]Assuming this kid is a junior, then he and his parents still has plenty of time to figure this stuff out.   The parents haven't given you enough info to go on.  If he's a senior then, yes maybe random suggestions from DCUMers are better than nothing.

We could name every school on the East Coast that could possibly come in around the cost of OOS attendance at UMD, but it would all be just a stab in the dark.  If the student has the stats to get into UMD, then he would likely qualify for some merit aid at some East Coast flagships (just not UVA, UNC).  The same stats would likely get him merit aid at liberal arts colleges outside of the top ones and they may end up being comparable to an OOS public or even a little cheaper.

A co-worker of mine recently visited University of Delaware with a kid who is fairly undecided and leaning towards business - they really loved it.  They have scholarships up to about $13K for kids with good stats.  Other East Coast publics that offer fairly generous merit aid are Temple, South Carolina, some of the Florida schools, Pitt (need really good stats), Vermont, etc.  Ohio State has a pretty generous OOS scholarship if he's willing to head west and doesn't mind a huge school.
