State-Based Aid Programs
During the 2010-11 academic year, there was over $9.2 billion awarded by state
higher education organizations. Most of the state programs are available only to
students who attend a college within their state of residence. To be considered
for state-based aid, you should consider attending an in-state college.
A limited number of states have established reciprocity agreements with neighboring
states to help families manage college costs. For more information on reciprocity
agreements, contact your college(s) or state higher education agency.
