Has anyone been involved with reciprocity in their scholarship dealings?

If a kid is offered "in state" tuition from an "out of state" school can it be assumed he was offered reciprocity and does it have to be mentioned to him that its under reciprocity conditions?

Can anyone explain in detail how it works and any updated info on who offers it? I have only been able to determine that some states and their bordering counties with the neighboring state can offere reciprocity. I dont know if this is up to date info though or if their have been any changes in the statutes.

Could you explain "reciprocity" in this context? I am not sure what you mean. I would be interested to know. Outside of baseball, there are colleges that offer instate tuition to qualified students that make certain SAT scores, etc. Clemson and South Carolina come to mind. There are other schools that offer out of state tuition waivers to those that live in a neighboring county, but out of state.
A longtime poster on this site had researched OOS tuition waivers for NC schools, and reported that basically the tax code/law that allowed it may have been repealed in the last several years. You could check www.collegeconfidential.com for other state tuition waivers.

While certain circumstances may allow for an instate tuition bill, I would recommend that anyone who is counting on establishing themselves as a state resident go to the university website and read the documents on what constitutes residency. If you read these, you'll see that its very hard to become a resident for tuition purposes after the fact unless the parents actually move to the state.
