The
SREB Regional Contract Program is a cooperative
tuition-reduction agreement. Each professional school
pledges to admit a specific number of qualified students
from other states. Students apply for admission and are
responsible for tuition at public institutions, but they are
not asked to pay an out-of-state fee. At private
institutions, students have their tuition reduced. A student
must apply directly to the institution of their choice for
admission and may not be admitted as a
contract students without a certificate of residency.
The institution makes the final decision regarding
admission. |
