Our state has a program that covers tuition if you are in-state, received good grades in high school, and continue to maintain those. Of my (undergraduate) classmates, I believe 60% were out of state, including out of country. Unfortunately, most that came from states with similarly ranked public schools did not have access to a similar program in those states. My payments to the university totaled $60k for 7 years, undergraduate and masters. (I lost full tuition coverage my first year.)
