On LSU's website, estimated instate tuition per year is $21,668 and out of state is $38,344.
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.

I received an out of state fee waiver to attend LSU 12 years ago and have been a tax paying resident of Louisiana since the Monday following my May 2008 graduation.
Not to mention OP is looking for ways to obtain instate tuition. He didn't make any claims about skirting the rules. Just inquiring about fee waiver programs that are "legal" and available.

This close minded old school way of looking at this issue is the reason why Louisiana is stagnant and isn't attracting new blood. The old way isn't working. Even Alabama has changed away from this mind set. What a shame it's such a prevalent though in the Louisiana legislature.
