I heard some schools offer in state tuition to those students who are in ROTC but would not qualify otherwise. Has anyone heard this? Do you know what schools offer this benefit? Ohio state? Penn state?
You didn't state which ROTC program so here is some input regarding NROTC:
Here are two quotes from P-Flying17. Not sure if she is still around as I haven't seen anything from her in months. Recommend you PM her or search for posts from her as she is an NROTC insider.
The following was posted by P-Flying17 back in Sept 2011.
"The best thing to do is call the NROTC Unit at the school you are interested in and ask if that school offers reciprical agreements.
Any NROTC Scholarship student is eligible for instate tuition at any public Texas School.
Texas A&M University
Texas A&M University at Galveston
University of Texas
University of Houston
Texas Southern University
There are schools that offer reciprical agreements with other states, but none to the effect that Texas does.
For instance State University of New York offers instate tuition for residents of Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Washington D.C., Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
Wisconsin has a reciprocal agreement with Minnesota.
Minnesota currently has one with North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
The Citadel offers to certain counties in Georgia. South Carolina will occassionally offer instate tuition eligible scholarships."
A more recent comment from P-Flying17:
"also any public Texas school. University of Houston, TAMU, UT, Rutgers as well. Next year, maybe Minnesota. University of South Carolina is good about giving scholarships that reduce tuition to that of instate or close to it, but would have to have that documentation before applying it to instate tuition cost."
