Expect to pay out-of-state tuition if you plan to attend a school out of your home state. However, many schools in your geographic region provide tuition discounts for a wealth of academic programs. Based on your location above, the states that may offer a tuition discount include: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.
Please note, these discounts are typically, if not 100%, applicable to tuition only, which means that room and board, textbooks, and misc. items are not included. Good luck to you in your search!
