Out of State Tuition
Posted on 7/19/16 at 10:40 pm

Friends son, who lives in Dallas, wants to go to LSU, but the out of state tuition is steep. My friends parents and siblings live in Lafayette. Any way to get around out of state tuition?
On LSU's website, estimated instate tuition per year is $21,668 and out of state is $38,344.

This is why I'm not in Cali for film school. Oos tuition is fricking ludicrous.

In other words, he doesn't have the grades to get into UT.
ETA: Y'all can get butthurt all you want, but a number of Texas students attending LSU have told me that LSU was not their first choice by any means. Post-secondary education in Texas is no joke.

LSU Tuition for Out of State Students is higher now
TUITION AND EXPENSES
Cost of Attendance
In-state: $24,863
Out-of-state: $42,272
And there is absolutely no way I would pay for either of those tuition figures to attend LSU. Budget cuts along with the loss of Tops is forcing LSU to significantly increase their tuition rates right now.

There's a Texas Tigers Scholarship that is 3433 a year with an ACT of 26 or higher.
Tiger Excellence is 7600 with 28 or higher ACT
Flagship is 20500 with 33 or higher ACT
Bummer they got rid of the Golden Oaks award. Almost every out of state student with a 30+ ACT was getting full tuition.

That's estimated full cost of attendance including room and board. Tuition is about 9K in state and 26k out of state.

In-state is not 21,000. That might be with room and board food etc. . More like 10,000 per year. 4800+ per semester with regular fees. . here is the fee schedule

The cost of tuition, regardless of residency, is ridiculous.
Still, why should he receive any of the reduced rates that are intended to assist Louisiana natives?
Chances are he'll probably just leave the state once he graduates anyway. Therefore, it's a poor investment on the part of the university to have a potential alumnus skirt the specified tuition stipulations and not contribute to the Louisiana job market.

How old is your friend? He may be able to claim a parent's residency if that parent lives in LA.
Also, look into the academic common market, or what it's called. Some states belong to an interstate agreement depending on majors offered.
Finally, like someone else mentioned, move to LA and make enough money to be considered a resident-not-for-enrollment-purposes.

OOS tuition sucks. I know why they do it due to OOS students leaving after graduation, and schools in other states usually won't waive it for Louisiana students.
I had to pay some of if to attend LSU.
I didn't want to attend MSU or OM (nothing wrong with these schools- they have some good concentrations to go into ex. Pharmacy, law, engineering, agriculture) at the time, so I thought it was a decent investment. I always wanted to go to LSU and I wanted to get out of the state and explore somewhere different without going too far away.
A small benefit of going to school there was I don't have to hear "you didn't go to school there, so why are you an LSU fan?" bullshite. Which I think is nothing but a bunch of elitist assholery to begin with.

As mentioned by other posters, the figures quoted are the COA, not tuition.
Unfortunately, it is extremely hard to get in-state tuition as an out of state student (otherwise everyone would). There are only a few paths available:
Parents move into Louisiana for work purposes, the student is immediately declared a resident for tuition purposes (relatives and/or owning property are irrelevant).
Secondly, the student can contact the registrar's office for details on the process for claiming residency (abandon all prior domiciles, support from parents, etc).
Registrar's residency page
Lastly, the student can move to Louisiana and work for 1 year. During that year, they cannot attend any school. They will simply be working like everyone else, obtaining a license, paying taxes, etc. After 1 year, they may potentially be declared a resident for tuition purposes.
The downside of the last option is you lose out on eligibility for entering freshman scholarships. But the tuition savings may be worth it, depending on their test scores.
Best I can say is contact the registrar or financial aid offices for any other questions
Edit: another poster mentioned academic common market. While that is an avenue for students to have the non-resident fee waived, no Texas programs are eligible for undergrad students. You can check it out on the Southern Regional Education Board for more info

My out of state scholarship is about 7k per quarter. (That'd be 21K/ year)
Thats what it displays the cost as, anyway. Seems kinda... much.

It's not $22K per year in state. Where the frick are you getting your stats from? In 2014 it was $9K per yr.

Out of state tuition is insane with no breaks for children of alumni just in time for my kids to hit college age. The cost of college is out of hand and I have no idea how my grandchildren will be able to afford it unless they are academically or athletically gifted.
