[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the DC TAG is not federally funded, hopefully more states will start to offer in-state rates to DC residents. If they don't want to potentially lose the enrollment (or even gain some extra students), they will make that move (especially Maryland, VA and public HBCU's).  It was better than nothing, but the DC TAG was not keeping up with the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition of many universities (versus when the program was introduced). Other tri-state or border states regions give in-state tuition so hopefully this is something that can be an alternative.[/quote]

I get why tri-state or border states might do it with reciprocal benefits, but tbh I do not understand what Maryland or Virginia have to gain by offering this to DC, which does not have any desirable in-state options that Marylanders or Virginians could benefit from.[/quote]

I agree that this is unlikely to happen, which is a shame. It would be fair reciprocity given all of the Maryland residents who send their kids to DC public and charter schools at our expense. (A independent audit of Jackson-Reed alone would yield dozens of Maryland residents per grade. Ask any J-R student.)

Also want to second the PP on DCTAG: it’s not a particularly difficult process, and the employees are super helpful. Yes, it doesn’t come close to covering the difference between in-state and OOS tuition, but seeing that $10k subtracted from your tuition bill every year is very nice.

In fairness to Maryland, I know a number of DC students who have attended UMCP at a discount, some for free. [/quote]
