Non-Resident Tuition Reduction for Nursing students

I am a NY resident. I am looking at Salisbury U in order to attend the ASBN. I still want to live on the Eastern seaboard but not in NY (way too much money to live in this state). Has anyone done the non-resident tuition reduction program?

If so you think it is worth the contractual time required?

What are the particulars? How much would you have to pay back if you decided to scram? This area is excellent for nurses, imo, if the committment requires you stay in MD.

Usually they are not really called tuition reduction, they are called out-of-state waivers.

This is a common practice among universities that border different states. They have a set group of counties, townships, or zip codes that are out-of-state, that they will provide in-state tuition to.

Private Schools, typically do not have in/out-of-state guidelines.

I was talking about the program that is mentioned here:

I am going to be starting the ABSN at SU in just a few months (August 2009). I am out of state so I was going to apply to the program, if I decide to move out of state, then I will pay it back. It just gives me more time and less stress while I have been a student without much income. Also, even though SU is a 4 year school but the program is only 3 semesters, is the contract for 2 or 4 years? I am looking for a fellow nursing student for a roommate, so if you or anyone you know is looking, please contact me!

good luck!
