How can I afford Out of State Tuition in Florida?
I live in Tennessee. I have always wanted to go to Uf, but it is not financially possible for my family at this time. It costs close to 35,000 a year weighing in everything. I have a 3.9 GPA. I am in Beta Club, Key Club International, National Honors Society, World Cause (local club to promote world awareness), I have a job at Pac Sun, and I also volunteer at The Alzheimer’s Assisted Living Center. I have taken AP and Honors courses for at least half of my classes… I was wondering how I could possibly afford it without moving in state for a year. Any specific grant or scholarships?? Does the school have a program where if I score high enough on ACT/SAT I can qualify for in state? Anything to help me out. Thanks
I hate to answer these questions in such a way that it rains on anyone’s parade, or spoils anyone’s dreams, but I do my best to answer these questions honestly and factually.
First of all, you cannot qualify for Florida-resident tuition by moving to the state for a year. That’s a common “legend” that you’ll hear prospective students talking about, but it’s not true.
State residents get a break on state university tuition specifically because they (and more likely, mom and dad) have been paying state taxes for some time. State universities are partially funded by taxes, so the state rewards the people who have been paying those taxes with a break on tuition.
It is absolute nonsense that you can move to a state for a year, attend school while paying non-resident fees, and then qualify as a resident from then on.
In order to establish residency in most states, you must move to the state for some reason other than to attend school, you must find gainful employment, you must be financially independent of your parents, and you must pay taxes.
So – if you elect to attend school in Florida – and you move here from Tennessee to attend UF, you will be a non-resident for your entire time at the school (and pay out-of-state tuition each and every year)
Your main question is more related than you think. Financial aid is not meant to help every college student achieve his or her dreams. If it were, an awful lot of students would want financial aid to go to the University of Hawaii.
Financial aid is meant to assist students with the cost of a college education. Regardless of where you choose to go, the money that is available to you is pretty much the same. You don’t get “bonus money” for selecting a very expensive school. If you choose an expensive school, the difference in cost comes out of your pocket.
If I promised to help you buy a car – I might be thinking about giving you $5000, because I know you’re not going to be able to afford a car on your own. Now it’s up to you – you can take that $5000 and buy a $4900 used car, you can take that $5000 and apply it towards the cost of a brand new Honda Fit, or you can take that $5000 and head off to the Maserati dealership, for all I care. I’m not giving you any more money because you want to drive a Maserati, and financial aid is not going to pick up the cost of your Maserati educational dreams, either.
You have some extremely impressive qualifications, and I congratulate you for all of your successes. I think the chances are excellent that you will have a fantastic college “career”, and you sound like the kind of person who is motivated to succeed in life – I think you’ll go far.
I think you’re also smart enough to realize that the cost of an out-of-state tuition will be unreasonable. Think about it – if you were going to be paying $35,000 a year to go to the University of Florida, aren’t there some pretty darned good private universities in this country that you could attend for about the same amount of money? Florida is a pretty good school (hey, they were just named Top Party School in the US), but it’s not worth good-private-school-type money.
