Surprise, You Just Disqualified Yourself For Instate Tuition

Along the winding path toward in-state tuition, unseen perils lurk. An affordable college education awaits…but this sweet prize is a long way off. Mis-steps could mean starting over, wasted years, squandered tuition dollars. Seeming shortcuts are pitfalls. Assumptions are man-eaters. Hubris is endemic. Unasked and unanswered questions stalk you and ignorance, feigned or real, will not save you. Sure, get a new in-state driver’s license, update your address with institutions like banks, register to vote, do taxes, etc. But there are more fundamental questions you may have overlooked. You think you know the way; you may know much, but it’s what you don’t know that hurts you. In-state is all or nothing so getting a lot of things right is great but simply not enough. What about the lesser-known requirements peculiar to your university? How do you reconcile the illogical and contradictory? Are you focusing on the small things at the expense of the big things? Are you doing it the right way beyond reproach? Are you guessing and crossing your fingers? How confident are you? Never confuse confidence with correctness, here are 8 areas that are easily overlooked and can disqualify you from earning in-state tuition: 1) Attendance Can you even be enrolled as a student during the domicile period? Some colleges you can go to school full-time while establishing residency like UNLV. Others put a cap on the number of credits you are allowed to take while proving your in-state eligibility, e.g. 8 credits max per term at University of Oregon-Eugene. Even more strict is Indiana University-Bloomington, where taking even 1 credit-hour at any institution of higher education in Indiana irrevocably brands you as being in Indiana solely for educational purposes and therefore disqualifies you from in-state status.... read more

Do Your FAFSA…You Will Thank Us Later

What is the FAFSA? FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid, and is a form that prospective and current college students in the U.S. can complete to see what financial aid they qualify for to help pay for the cost of college. The financial aid offered can be in the form of favorable loans, grants, or scholarships from the US Government, the State, or the University and varies depending on the student’s financial needs. Why should I do it? Almost all students qualify for at least some sort of financial aid via completion of the FAFSA. Many people don’t realize that many university-specific grants/financial aid is apportioned only to those who submit a FAFSA, i.e. you run the risk of possibly foregoing totally free money by not doing the FAFSA. Isn’t it really hard to do? Some people say the FAFSA is too hard, but it really is not. You can complete it for free online at fafsa.gov OR you can have somebody help you complete it over the phone with services such as FAFSA.com. The latter has some packages ranging from $79 to $99 to help and can get it done over the phone in about 30-60 minutes. Is it true that if parents make a lot of money then you can’t get financial aid? Some people say the FAFSA is a waste of time because their parents make too much money, but again that is not the case. While it is true that a student might not be offered much or anything ….. Even wealthy people are typically offered at least favorable government loans. Take a subsidized... read more

Tuition Reciprocity Agreements Explained

Tuition reciprocity agreements allow a qualified resident from one state to attend certain colleges in nearby states for a greatly reduced tuition rate. Although not without severe limitations and eligibility restrictions, thousands of people benefit each year from such reciprocity agreements. This article will focus on the regional reciprocity agreements among Western US states, Southern states, Midwestern states, and Northeastern states—these big four agreements account for the vast majority of reciprocity benefactors. There are other more unique reciprocity agreements between states and colleges which far fewer people benefit from but which are nevertheless worth addressing in the interest of being thorough. Regional Tuition Reciprocity Agreements There are four major regional tuition reciprocity agreements all out-of-state hopefuls need to know about. NORTHEAST Regional Student Program (RSP) under the New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont The New England RSP allows New England residents to attend participating out-of-state New England public universities at a reduced rate of tuition. New England’s Board of Higher Education states an average tuition break of $7,000 annually being received by a full-time RSP student. Important to know is that there are certain requirements needed in order to reap benefits of the New England RSP Tuition Break. Most important is that the student must enroll in a major that is not only approved by the RSP, but is an approved major that is not available to the student at the public universities and colleges in their own home-state. There are also instances where proximity is a determining factor in that certain schools will allow qualification to the RSP Tuition Break if the out-of-state college is... read more
