New England Regional Student Program
If you are a legal resident of a New England state, you may be eligible for a tuition reduction under the New England Regional Student Program. The New England Board of Higher Education provides New England residents with a tuition reduction when they pursue certain majors at New England public colleges and universities.
To be eligible for this tuition reduction, the student must be enrolled in an approved degree program that is not available at a public institution in their home state. Qualified students pay 175% of UConn’s in-state tuition cost.
Effective Fall 2024, all incoming first-year and transfer students with New England residency enrolling at UConn Avery Point will be eligible for the Tuition Break tuition rate for the duration of their undergraduate enrollment at the UConn Avery Point.
