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!

I didn't know they did this, but I do know that there are also certain majors where you get in state tuition--common market majors that are only offered at certain schools in your region that are not offered at a school in your state. One of my daughter's friends is at Alabama in the musical theatre program and gets in-state tuition. One of the most popular majors for out of staters at Georgia Tech is Nuclear Engineering because it's a common market major.
Also, because they've lost so many out of state students from GA in the past ten years since HOPE started, Jacksonville State charges in state tuition to Georgia students from a group of the border counties (none in metro Atlanta, though).
