Greater opportunity. Lower cost.
What is 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 in their own state.
Participating Colleges & Universities
All 82 New England public colleges and universities participate in the RSP Tuition Break program. The approved undergraduate and graduate degree programs are listed in the annual RSP Tuition Break Catalog and the online RSP Tuition Break Database.

Savings
Since it was established in 1957, the RSP Tuition Break has provided New England residents discounts on more than 200,000 annual tuition bills, with total savings well into the billions of dollars. In the 2007-08 academic year, nearly 8,000 New England residents saved nearly $45 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.
Data
Data on RSP enrollment and tuition savings, by state and by institution, are published in the RSP Annual Report. Download a PDF of the 2007-08 Annual Report.
