Out-of-State Tuition in Texas

For those of you who are OOS med students at Texas schools (or know of them)...

I understand that receiving a scholarship (as small as $1000, even) can qualify you for IS tuition at Texas schools.

In your experience, how often will a school NOT qualify an OOS student for IS tuition?

Do virtually all OOS students use the loophole, or only a select few?

Thanks

I can't speak for other schools, but in San Antonio they said that every OOS student is automatically given in-state tuition in the form of a scholarship.

Did they say this on an interview day? And does that include 1st year IS tuition as well?

It was either interview day or orientation. It includes all 4 years.

at southwestern every single OOS admitted student gets in state tuition plus the $1000 scholly for all 4 years. you don't have to do anything special, just be admitted. the award is spelled out in the acceptance letter.

source: interview day financial aid seminar, being an OOS student at utsw myself, and knowing other OOS students in my class

another nice thing: tuition increases are by law capped at something like 3.5% per year. so you can be reasonably sure you won't see tuition arbitrarily raised 20% if the school budget goes sour.

I think that it is pretty much uniform that all OOS students get the $1000 scholarship so they qualify for IS rates

Does anyone know if the $1000 scholarship for all OOS students is also true for TCOM!?!?

So does TCOM automatically offer most of its OOS students a $1000 scholarship so they can qualify for in state tuition? If so, do they do so for all 4 years?

Oh wow idk how I posted on the wrong thread. But to answer your question, I believe they continue to offer you the scholarship until you are considered a Texas resident yourself. So pretty much all OOS people get in state tuition. Hope that helps.

Omg idk how I posted in the wrong thread. But to answer your question, they give you the scholarship until you become a Texas resident. So OOS people pretty much gets in state tuition. Actually, they technically pay 1k less than the in state people.
