In-depth Overview

Out-of-state Tuition

Long definition: Out-of-state tuition refers to the higher tuition fees charged by educational institutions, typically colleges and universities, to students who are not residents of the state or country where the institution is located. These higher tuition rates are applied to students who do not meet the residency requirements established by the institution or the state and they often subsidize the lower, in-state tuition rates available to residents.

Etymology: The term "out-of-state" simply indicates that the tuition rates apply to students from outside the state where the institution is located.

Synonyms or related academic terms:

  • Non-resident Tuition
  • International Student Tuition

Examples of Use:

  • Out-of-state tuition can be significantly higher than in-state tuition, making education more expensive for non-resident students.
  • Many students may establish state residency to qualify for lower in-state tuition rates after living in a state for a certain period.
  • Some institutions offer scholarships or waivers to offset the cost of out-of-state tuition for high-achieving non-resident students.
