    Consider in-state tuition and tuition reciprocity

    In-state tuition is the price that Alabama residents get to pay for Alabama colleges and universities. In-state tuition costs are often less than half regular tuition and can save you tens of thousands of dollars.

    Here are a few well-known Alabama universities and their in-state vs out-of-state tuition costs:

    Auburn University

    • In-state tuition: $6,262
    • Out-of-state tuition: $16,954

    University of Alabama

    • In-state tuition: $11,100
    • Out-of-state tuition: $31,460

    How do you get Alabama in-state tuition?

    In-state tuition reduces the cost of Alabama  tuition significantly. Therefore, you are probably wondering how you can qualify for in-state tuition in Alabama. Everything starts with establishing in-state residency, so you will have to plan ahead if you know that Alabama is the place for you.

    First, you must establish a “domicile,” which simply means that you intend to make Alabama your permanent residence. This involves obtaining an Alabama driver’s license, registering to vote in Alabama, and registering your vehicle in Alabama. In addition, you will need to physically reside in Alabama for at least 12 consecutive months prior to the beginning of the school year.

    Take note that residency requirements vary from institution to institution within Alabama. Therefore, be sure to review the specific requirements of your desired Alabama schools to ensure you qualify for in-state tuition.

    Does Alabama have tuition reciprocity? 

    Yes! Alabama is a member of the Academic Common Market which is a regional reciprocity agreement among select Southern states. However, the tuition reciprocity programs between Alabama institutions vary, so make sure to do your research!
