Tuition Reciprocal Agreements

One question I get asked often is about whether or not you can go to school in another state and pay in-state tuition. The short answer is maybe. There are several regional groups whose members are allowed lower tuitions. For example, the New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) brought all the New England states together with the Regional Student Program, which allows a break in tuition for those meeting certain requirements. And there are reciprocal tuition agreements between individual states. Check with your state department of higher education to see what your state offers. If qualified, the money savings can be great.
