MANHATTAN—Students from five more states will save money attending Kansas State University.
On Wednesday, the Kansas Board of Regents heard from K-State President Richard requesting an adjustment in the tuition rate for new students from Arkansas, California, Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas, according to the Regent meeting agenda. The lower rates begin in fall 2020
To qualify, they must have at least a 3.25 overall high school GPA and scores of either 22 on the ACT or 1100 on the SAT. President Richard Myers says it will help with recruitment.
Under the reduced rate, they would have paid $6,562.50 this fall for 14 credit hours. Regular out-of-state students spent $11,610, and in-state students shelled out $4,375.
Qualifying students from nine other states already can receive out-of-state tuition at the same reduced rate, which is 150 percent of the in-state tuition cost.
