Consider in-state tuition and tuition reciprocity

In-state tuition allows residents of a state to receive cheaper tuition for a college or university in their own state. Additionally, many universities and colleges reserve scholarships and financial aid for in-state students, which helps reduce the cost of attending college for those who live there.

Here are a few well-known Kansas universities and their in-state vs out-of-state tuition costs:

University of Kansas

• In-state tuition: $10,092
• Out-of-state tuition: $26,960

Kansas State University

• In-state tuition: $11,876
• Out-of-state tuition: $28,348

How do you get in-state tuition?

Being a Kansas resident significantly reduces the cost of tuition for Kansas universities and colleges. In order to become a Kansas resident for tuition purposes, you will need to have a continuous physical presence in Kansas for at least 365 days prior to the first day of classes for which you are applying for residency. During these 365 days, you will need to receive income and financial support from Kansas sources. Additionally, you will need to show intent to remain in Kansas indefinitely. Obtaining a Kansas driver’s license, voter registration in Kansas, car registration in Kansas, and owning a home in Kansas are all possible ways to show your intent. Lastly, you must prove that you are residing in Kansas for reasons other than educational purposes.

Does Kansas offer tuition reciprocity?

Yes, Kansas is a member of the Midwest Student Exchange Program (MSEP), which is a tuition reciprocity program. In this program, students from participating states are able to attend certain programs and colleges outside of their home state for a reduced cost. The states that participate in this program are Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Wisconsin.
