What do I need to know about out of state tuition ?

If you are student who is planning on attending a four year college outside of the state you have lived in your whole life there is a chance you may have to pay out of state tuition. With that being said the average out of state tuition for an undergraduate is about 16,000 dollars. A student who has not been a resident in the state for more than a year it is more likely that you will pay more simply because you do not or have not been a resident of that state. There is a big gap between how much tuition is depending on whether or not they live in the state where there school happens to be. For instance the graduate school of education lists the difference between the amounts paid for in and out of state tuition. Say you live in the state of Maryland and decide to attend Towson University and you have been a resident for a while now your tuition would range about 8,100 dollars to attend that university. However, if you have not been a resident and are now moving to the state just for college your out of state tuition ranges from 18-19 thousand dollars for out of state tuition. That leaves almost an 11,000 dollar gap between in-state and out of state tuition.

               Some states have made it somewhat easier for those who are paying tuition from out of state. Some states have set up programs to reduce tuition for those out of state and make things alittle easier for them. For example the Academic common market is a program most states have like Alabama, North Carolina, and other states to offer discounts on tuition for undergraduates and for graduate degrees.
