POLICY AND CRITERIA FOR OUT-OF-STATE
INSTITUTIONAL SCHOLARSHIP ON THE NON-RESIDENT TUITION

New Policy Effective Fall 2007

Southeastern Oklahoma State University will provide a non-resident tuition waiver to a United States citizen or eligible non-citizen (permanent US resident) who meets the listed criteria. No application is necessary.

Effective Fall 2007:

A. First-time Southeastern undergraduate or graduate students (Fall, Spring, Summer) will receive a 100% non-resident tuition waiver for the first two semesters including Fall, Spring and/or Summer.  This applies to the non-resident portion only.  Resident tuition and fees still apply.

B. Subsequent semesters, students may continue to receive non-resident tuition waivers based on SOSU retention/graduation GPA (grade point average), using the following scale:

.....................................Non-Resident Portion
Grade Point Average .......Tuition Waived
........3.50 - 4.00..........................100%
........3.00 - 3.46............................75%
........2.50 - 2.99............................50%
........2.25 - 2.49............................25%

C. Texas school personnel may receive a 100% non-resident tuition waiver. To ensure receipt of the 100% waiver, a letter signed by a school official verifying your Texas school employment must be submitted to the Office of Student Financial Aid before the last day to enroll or add a class.  Otherwise, the above waiver scale applies.

Students are not required to apply for the non-resident tuition waiver.  The waiver amount will be automatically credited to each student’s statement based on SOSU GPA.

Exceptions to the policy and/or criteria must be requested through the Vice President for Student Affairs.  Deadline is the last day to enroll or add classes for the semester.

The Office of Student Financial Aid will have final approval relative to eligibility.  Direct all questions about eligibility to the Office of Student Financial Aid (580) 745-2186
