No. Not with the HOPE. But let's say that your son or daughter gets a scholarship offer from the Math school at Auburn that = what Auburn's in-state tuition is....THEN they will waive the difference of in-state vs out-of-state tuition so basically you become just like an in-state student. But of course you would not be using any HOPE money.
So just for numbers sake: Auburn tuition in-state is say $4000 and out-of-state is $14000 (I don't know the real costs)
Your student gets $3700 academic scholarship from Math school and $300 from some club or sport scholarship (or wherever from Auburn) then that would = the $4000 and you would be considered "in-state" and the other $10k is waived. Make sense?
IF this does happen to your student and let's say he is "off" by $300 when the new tuition rate is published, then I suggest you get on the phone and work hard at getting the original scholarship increased so it does match. Hope this helps!....BUT....GO DAWGS!
