New England Board of Higher Education Tuition Break Program

This program gives a tuition break to New England students enrolled in certain programs not offered by their home state’s public colleges or universities. Rather than paying the out-of-state tuition rate, students in Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Maine pay a reduced tuition rate if their home state doesn’t offer their chosen major.
