Tuition Assistance Programs

Many states offer tuition assistance programs for out of state residents. See our tuition comparison chart and learn about more ways to reduce the cost of college tuition for the next school year.

Tuition Assistance Overview

Most public colleges and universities charge higher out of state tuition and fees, making it more economical for students to attend a public college in their own state. But most people don't know there are some great tuition assistance programs offered by most states to attract students from neighboring states to their public colleges. Since many college students want to attend a school further away from home, this is an affordable way to attend an out-of-state college.
