RSP Tuition Break
What is Tuition Break?
Follow Tuition Break: 
NEBHE’s Tuition Break program, the New England Regional Student Program (RSP), enables thousands of New England residents to enroll at out-of-state New England public colleges and universities at a discount. Students are eligible for the RSP Tuition Break when they enroll in an approved major that is not offered by the public colleges and universities in their home-state.
New England includes the following six states: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.
Hundreds of Approved Programs
More than 700 undergraduate and graduate degree programs are offered through the RSP Tuition Break by New England’s 82 public colleges and universities. Check Find a Program.
Savings
Since it was established in 1957, the RSP Tuition Break has provided New England residents discounts on more than 230,000 annual tuition bills, with total savings well into the billions of dollars. In the 2009-10 academic year, over 8,700 New England residents saved an estimated $51 million in tuition because of the RSP. A full-time RSP student received an average tuition break of $7,000.
The RSP Tuition Break program not only saves students thousands of dollars in college tuition, but also enables the six New England states to expand educational opportunities for their residents, while avoiding duplication of costly academic programs.
College Fairs
Tuition Break participates in college fairs throughout New England every year. The following is a partial list of the fairs where a Tuition Break representative will be in attendance. Please stop by our table to ask questions and learn more about the program.
RSP alum Adam says...
"The RSP made it possible for me to attend the school of my choice, while keeping tuition cost to a minimum. Otherwise I would have had to pay full out of state tuition."
