A question for you. I know most schools have between 9-12 scholarships. Is this money based on resident or non resident or does it not matter. In other words lets say the cost of attendance is 16k year for resident and 33k for a non resident. Does the non resident cost you twice the amount of the resident from your funds?

According to the NCAA it doesn't matter. Each school can offer up 9-12 full scholarships depending on the division. Now that doesn't mean each school fully funds all the programs. But to answer your question it doesn't matter if it is in state or out of state. School can also give out state waivers or at least they use to be able to.

out of state details didn't come up in our offer.
I would certainly check on the waiver issue. Unless you are given 100% (which is pretty rare) 50% 0f $16,000 is $8,000 and 50% 0f $33,000 is $16,500! You get more but still pay more! As we were made to believe a waiver can not be given to an athlete unless it is also available to the general students. You may be one of the lucky few (sorry I'm not familiar) but mine has a partial and the numbers really need to be looked at for value. Her academic award really helped so keep the grades up!
Because of my daughters grades she was given in state tuition, a full tuition waiver and $3,000 a year in athletic money her first year (junior year). Her 2nd year (senior) they added books and upped the athletic money to $6,000. Juco was completely free, they covered all expenses.
Every institution is different so you will have to check with each school.
Some are given so many out of state scholarships, some have instate tuition for surrounding states etc. You just have to make sure you ask all of these questions ahead of time.

That's because it's a private school. Out-of-state tuition is typically with state schools that are subsidized by tax payers.
Excellent post about waivers and the importance of focusing on how much you have to pay rather than how much they're giving.

Alot of out of state schools, private or public will wave the out of state if the ACT is high enough. dd has been to both Private (Valpo ) and public ( Louisville ) And both were the same way. The higher the score the cheaper the tuition all the way around.
Valpo's tuition doesn't vary between in/out of state - http://www.valpo.edu/financialaid/costs/estimatedcosts.php. I don't know of any private schools that have a higher tuition for out-of-state students.
Louisville's out-of-state tuition is about $14k higher (http://louisville.edu/admissions/aid/tuition) and their National Scholar's Program for out-of-state students can cover $5-12k of it (http://louisville.edu/admissions/aid/nsp).
I agree that good academics can lower the cost at most schools, regardless of whether they're public/private or in/out of state.
