New England Regional Tuition

If you are a resident of a New England state other than Rhode Island, discounted tuition is available through Tuition Break, an initiative of the New England Board of Higher Education. Learn more at nebhe.org/tuitionbreak or see the chart below for a listing of eligible majors.
 

Please note: In some majors, Regional Tuition does not apply until year three or junior year. Scholarships and financial aid awards will be adjusted when students change their major from a non-regional tuition major to a regional tuition major.
