UNH Tuition for Massachusetts Residents?

I'm from Massachusetts and am looking into the University of New Hampshire. I heard they have some sort of a tuition break for Massachusetts residents. Can anyone provide more information on this or correct me if I'm wrong?

You're correct that the University of New Hampshire (UNH) offers a tuition break for Massachusetts residents, as well as for residents of other New England states. This is made possible through the New England Regional Student Program (RSP), which is also known as the Tuition Break program.

The New England RSP allows students from New England states to attend public colleges and universities in other New England states at a reduced out-of-state tuition rate. The program covers Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

Keep in mind that eligibility for the Tuition Break is determined by the student's home state, the institution they plan to attend, and the major or program they want to pursue. Not all majors and programs are included in the RSP, so it's essential to check the specific programs available for your home state.

To be eligible for the RSP tuition rate at UNH, you must:

1. Be a legal resident of Massachusetts (or another New England state)

2. Be admitted to an approved program/major listed on the RSP database for your home state

3. Maintain continuous enrollment in the approved program

More information on the New England RSP, including a list of approved programs for Massachusetts residents, can be found on the New England Board of Higher Education's website. Remember to check for updates and any changes to the eligible programs before applying.

Additionally, when you apply to UNH, make sure to indicate your interest in the RSP. The university will then evaluate your eligibility, and if you qualify, you'll be awarded the tuition break.

Good luck with your application to UNH, and I hope this information is helpful for you!
