[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]

It would have benefits for the 2nd and 3rd tier VA and MD state schools, but not the flagships.

I could see VCU, UMBC, ODU and those types of schools seeing the benefit because they need more students period.

It’s possible they already offer the equivalent of in-state to induce DC kids to enroll.[/quote]

Nope, my nephew attended VCU from VA and plenty of students applying. [/quote]
