We desperately need more young, educated, and successful people to help alleviate the massive brain drain witnessed in past decades.
Just a FYI. "Brain drain" occurs in nearly 40 states. There's about 10 states that just by sheer size can't produce enough graduates from univiersities to meet job demand.
Basically the 10 most populous states are the only ones exempt from the brain drain.

I got a full ride to LSU. I've been living back in my home state of Illinois the past few years. I was really interested in moving back to Baton Rouge and applied to a job I was fully qualified for at LSU. I was rejected. Should I feel guilty that I took that scholarship money from a hard working Louisiana student?

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

Or do like I did back in 1992, switch from Air Force reserves in Colarodo to the Louisiana Air National Guard. Then get free tuition for serving for Louisiana. If my boys want to attend LSU, which they both want to do and now with the Alumni Scholarship deceased, they will be joining my old LA Air Guard unit, the 159th at Belle Chase.

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.

You just posted cost of attendance. LSU tuition for in state is like 6k

In other words, he doesn't have the grades to get into UT.
Maybe yes, but maybe his boy visited LSU and simply wants to go there instead. I live in Houston. However, I take my girls to LSU football games and they love it. Given that they will have 13 years of LSU indoctrination, I assume that they will want to go to LSU even if they have the grades for UT or A&M.

Or the kid can marry a Louisiana native. Then instant in state tuition.

To put it into perspective
Southern University and AM (per semester)
Undergrad $4,047.00
Grad $4,673.00
OoS Undergrad $3,675.00
OoS Grad $3,223.00
and the OT complains SU is too expensive

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.
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.

Don't even try...I tried to get resident classification for 3 years and every time, LSU found another reason not to give it to me. I had my LA DL, my bank account was set up in BR, I registered my vehicle there, lived uninterrupted for 5 years, paid LA taxes, even got a letter from Bill Cassidy's office stating I was considered, by their standards, a resident. LSU's final denial was because "they didn't feel I was going to stay in Louisiana after graduation". I fought it, stating it wasn't up to their opinion of what they "think" I'll do, it should be based on what documentation I could supply, which I satisfied all of their requirements. Hit me with an extra $9,000 a semester for out of state fees. I was originally Bengal Legacy (my mom was a graduate of LSU, so they waived 75% of my out of state fees), but when the first round of budget cuts came through, they cut my scholarship. Then they had the balls to request I donate money no more than 5 days after I walked across the stage...pathetic.

I'm from Tennessee, but got in-state tuttion through the academic common market. My major wasn't offered in Tennessee. The common market allows you to go to certain out of state institutions for in-state prices.

shite i dont even think it was 2500 per semester back in 02
My last semester as LSU was the Spring of 2006. My tuition and fees was $2,500 total. Each semester I was there the total went up about $100. So, it's been 10 years since I graduated. That's 20 semesters. Do the math and that gets you $4,500 a semester. I believe it's around $5,000 per semester. So the rate of inflation hasn't changed too much.
