Which is the most expensive public university out of state?

As I'm considering schools outside my home state, I want to know which public universities are the most expensive for out-of-state students. Do these institutions offer any special financial aid for out-of-state students?

Regarding your question about the most expensive public universities for tuition for out-of-state students, the University of Vermont (44,500 USD), the University of Virginia (52,000 USD), and the University of Michigan (63,200 USD) typically appear at the top of these lists. They have quite high tuition fees for non-residential students. However, it's always a good idea to keep in mind the total cost of attendance, which includes room, board, and other expenses—this total amount can shift the ranks of the most expensive institutions.

In terms of financial aid for out-of-state students, these colleges provide varying levels of assistance. For example, the University of Virginia follows a unique practice called "Access UVA," which ensures that the university meets 100% of all admitted undergraduates' demonstrated financial need.

The University of Michigan offers extensive need-based and merit-based aid to out-of-state students. They have the University of Michigan Non-Resident Scholarship, which can range from 10K to 20K per academic year, and it automatically considers all first-year applicants for this scholarship.

The University of Vermont offers several scholarships for out-of-state students, like the Vermont Out-of-State and Presidential scholarships, which can significantly cut the cost of attendance.

Remember, financial aid can greatly affect the final cost of attendance, so always use a university's net price calculator to get a more accurate estimate of what you would have to pay. Don't rule out a school solely based on sticker price, as you might qualify for institutional aid that significantly reduces the cost.
