Southern will expand the discounted New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) tuition rate to all states on the Eastern Seaboard beginning fall 2025.
Currently, full-time matriculated students from Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont receive the opportunity to enroll in any undergraduate degree program at Southern, at the Connecticut resident tuition rate plus 50 percent. Pennsylvania was added this fall.
Effective fall 2025, the NEBHE tuition break will also apply to full-time graduate and undergraduate students from Delaware; Maryland; Washington, D.C.; Virginia; North Carolina; South Carolina; Georgia; and Florida.
About 95 percent of SCSU students hail from Connecticut, but out-of-state numbers have been growing. There are 273 NEBHE students this fall, up 49 from the previous year.
“We’re already getting interest and applications from prospective students up and down the Eastern Seaboard,” said Julie Edstrom, vice president for enrollment management. “With a more competitive tuition rate to offer them, along with excellent academics and a vibrant student experience, we hope more of those applicants will say yes to Southern.”
