Moving from Nevada to Texas?
 

Hi everyone, it's been a while.

First off I have to say I'm very happy about the EO Obama has put in place and hope for his re-election this coming November. My future plans have a part in play from this new policy, but there is still plenty of work to do till' we get complete peace and mind.

Aside from that matter, I'm planning to move to San Antonio, Texas this coming December after the semester is over and have a few questions relating to University of Texas San Antonio (UTSA).

First off, how long should I expect to pay for non-resident tuition? 6 months, 12 months? Any local scholarships, etc? Is there a better university more out of state friendly when it comes to costs aside from UTSA in San Antonio?

My current situation:

College of Southern Nevada
Degrees earned: Associates of Business
Associates of Arts in Applied Financial Economics
My GPA is 3.74/High Honors/Phi Theta Kappa Member

Starting University of Nevada Las Vegas this fall.
My major will be Economics (the science, not the arts "side")
My minor will be Actuaries.

I currently have a non- transferable state scholarship that pays $980 per semester.
I plan to apply at BoA once I obtain my permit since they offer $5000 tuition reimbursement annually.
(I also know tons of people at BoA, including branch assistant managers, personal bankers, tellers.)


So if I move to San Antonio, I know I will not be able to use the scholarship, but at least I can count on BoA to pay $2500 each semester in tuition fees.

What do you think? What would you do in my situation?

The in-state tuition gets complicated. I have a USC friend who came from New Mexico, he was in school for a semester paying out of state at Texas A&M, which was basically 15K in just tuition. He then transferred for a semester to a community college, which he also paid out of state. According to him, if you work for a semester, you get to pay in state, you must also have lived here for a year. So after the community college and job he got for that semester, he re applied to A&M and got in state.

As I said first, it gets complicated because we aren't USC. You must become a Texas Resident first.

Here is a web link which will give you a long questionnaire. Which is also used for establishing Texas Residency for "school purposes."

It's 12 months of being in-state to pay in-state tuition for legal residents. For illegal immigrants (although the law doesn't expressly mention them), under Texas state law anyone who has been in the state for 3 years before receiving a high school/GED diploma also qualifies for in-state tuition.

However for every semester that you receive a $1000 (or more) merit-based scholarship you can apply for an in-state tuition waiver.

My final suggestion would be to not go to UTSA at all. It's a very mediocre school without any prestige, history, or quality to it. It's also not very cheap -- it costs nearly as much as UT Austin at a fraction of the quality.
