Out of state tuition

[default]

My dd lives in Kentucky so we have been looking at the schools that are in state vs. those in other states. I was wondering if anyone has and experience with this and do schools waive this if they want an out of state player. Also if anyone has any other things schools may throw in to attract a player.

Not sure if this answer is exactly what you are looking for, but if your dd is looking at private colleges the fee can be waived.

During our college search, we found that the difference between in-state and out-of-state wasn't much. Besides, when it comes to your daughter's education, are you really going to eliminate a school because of a couple thousand dollars a year?

A state school Like OSU, WVU, Pitt, or PennState will have a substantial difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition. A private School Like Allegheny or Denison will make no differentiation between the two. Most any Scholarship offer will cover which ever status of your player but the remaining fees will be accessed based on the actual status of your player.

No one in a University setting will waive a magic wand and turn your dd into an in-state-student.

My dd has same issue. We live in Ohio and are looking at a PA school, D11. The out of state thing worries me too. Tuition goes up significantly if dont live there. Havent talked $ yet, only a Junior. What year is your kid?

Ohio University is $9,000.00 more per year or $36,000.00 for 4 years. Definitely a consideration.
Penn State is $12,000.00 more per year.
Bluffton U is the same. It's expensive either way. ha

I stand corrected. Apparently, the bigger the school, the bigger the difference. We were looking at more "intimate" settings...

We live in Ohio, Daughter accepted a scholarship to a school in Georgia where the difference between in and out of state was 12 to 13 thousand per year. They waived the out of state cost not because of softball, but because of her grades and ACT score. Academics are actually more important in this case. Might be something to check into.

Some schools offer tuition reciprocity. I'm not sure about Kentucky, but here is a link for Ohio residents: https://www.ohiohighered.org/tuition-reciprocity

At BW there was actually a break in tuition if you came from out of state.

My experience is that schools will waive the out of state tuition difference for athletes.

I agree 100% but if two schools are pretty equal then it could be the deciding factor.

I suspect that the school doesn't actually waive the out-of-state tuition. If it gives you a full ride; you don't care what they show on their books. This is only a problem if they are offering you a partial ride and you have to make up the difference. Make sure you get that amount translated to dollars and cents at that particular school for your particular player. Combining academic money and athletic money complicates this discussion further but don't stay confused; ask the hard questions.

good topic, thanks for starting this one. I figured the OFC masses and experienced families would shed some light.

NCAA considers these waivers to be athletic scholarships if they are granted for athletic ability. The waiver has to be part of a program that is also available to non-athletes to be exempt.

Residency rules vary by state/school. Some/many allow students to become residents after 1 year.

Depending on the county you live in some colleges in neighboring states will waive the out of state fee. Check with the admin counselor of the college your interested in.

She graduates in 2016 figured better start figuring out the money side now and not just softball/good grades portion.

Not sure the exact verbage or exactly how they will show how the money falls - but 4 of our kids accepted offers to play out of state and all four were told that the school "waived" the out of state tuition. Maybe finances are like statistics..........

You can establish residency but typically you can not be in school while doing it.

In hamilton county and around you get a break at EKU Eastern Kentucky. I did not see that one on the list.
This area is a feeder area for them.
