FaithManor Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 If you are looking at state schools in Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, and Kansas, you may want to look outside your geographical/in-state area. The Midwest Higher Education Compact is an agreement to provide out of state students in states that belong to the exchange, tuition at 1.5 or less times the in-state tuition with numerous institutions such as U of Wisconsin coming in at only 1.1 or so depending on the location you choose. Though our ds would really, really like to attend Michigan Tech U, it is entirely possible that his best financial picture will come from U of WI and U of MN. Sad for my state, but with room and board the two state flagships plus tech U are pushing $30,000.00 with no end to significant tuition hikes in sight so long as Lansing is dealing with the Detroit debacle. Our state flagships are getting almost no state funding anymore making them private schools in all actuality. Anyway, I just thought I'd throw that out there since so many of us are pinching college pennies! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbgrace Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 The states on their website included more: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin. Are the ones you listed different than the others in some way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlsdMama Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hmm... for some reason I was thinking Iowa was refusing to participate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol in Cal. Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 University of Iowa has a California scholarship, specifically. It's not huge, but you don't pay full freight there (i.e. not full out of state tuition.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RootAnn Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hmm... for some reason I was thinking Iowa was refusing to participate. It says a few of the states don't do the tuition program part (part in bold). Iowa is one of them. Interesting info. Thanks for passing it along!
