    Consider in-state tuition and tuition reciprocity 

    In-state tuition allows residents of a state to receive cheaper tuition for a college or university in their state. Additionally, many universities and colleges reserve scholarships and financial aid for in-state students, which helps reduce the cost of attending college for those who live there.

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

    University of New Hampshire

    • In-state tuition: $15,520
    • Out-of-state tuition: $35,290

    Keene State College

    Plymouth State University

    • In-state tuition: $14,558
    • Out-of-state tuition: $25,498

    How do you get in-state tuition? 

    Being a New Hampshire resident can significantly reduce the cost of tuition for New Hampshire colleges and universities. In order to become a New Hampshire resident for tuition purposes, you will need to physically reside in New Hampshire for no less than 12 continuous months prior to the term for which in-state status is desired. Additionally, you must be residing in New Hampshire for some purpose other than attending the University, such as obtaining employment in New Hampshire. In addition, you will need to prove that you want to remain in the state of New Hampshire by obtaining physical proof, such as a New Hampshire driver’s license or registering your vehicle in New Hampshire. It is important to note that each New Hampshire university of college may have different requirements for residency so double check with your intended institution on their rules!

This agreement provides tuition reciprocity savings to residents in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island, and of course, New Hampshire. Eligibility for this program varies by state and institution, so be sure to double check with your intended institution.
