Out-of-state tuition waiver
approved by
Board
At its
fall meeting, the
ASU
Board of Trustees approved a resolution that
should help ASU recruit more top students from out of state. The new policy provides a
waiver of the out-of-state portion of tuition in the form of scholarships to students who are U.S. citizens, who are residents of
a state other than Arkansas,
and who meet certain criteria, including high school GPA of 3.0 or
higher, ACT composite score of 24 or higher (or comparable SAT),
and who will attend ASU-Jonesboro as full-time students. The
program begins next August. ASU already offers out-of-state tuition
waivers to children of ASU graduates, regardless of where they live.
ASU also offers waivers to residents of out-of-state counties
contiguous to Arkansas. For details,
contact ASU Admissions at ext. 3024 or
admissions@astate.edu.
