Want to avoid out-of-state tuition for health programs your home state does not offer? If you are a resident of Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, or South Carolina who wishes to study one of the professional health degrees listed, you may qualify for the SREB Regional Contract Program. Students who participate in the Southern Regional Education Board Regional Contract Program (RCP) can pay in-state tuition at Dentistry, Optometry, Osteopathy, Podiatry, and Veterinary colleges throughout the Southeast, if their home state does not offer that degree at their own public institutions. The RCP also pays the institution a contracted tuition rate, which is equivalent to the institution’s in-state tuition rate, on the student’s behalf. For general questions about the SREB RCP, feel free to contact Elisa Jaden at (404) 879-5517. Learn more here: https://www.sreb.org/regional-contract-program
