"In another important development, the Board of Regents also approved the University’s proposal to reduce tuition for out-of-state students, including a special reduction for students living within 250 miles of Memphis.
Under the new 250-R program, undergraduate students who graduated from a high school in the 250-mile radius will now pay $12,456 a year (plus mandatory fees), an almost $10,000 reduction from last year’s amount of $21,768."
Metropolitan areas located within the U of M’s proposed 250-mile zone include Little Rock, St. Louis, Birmingham, Ala., and Jackson, Miss.
The U of M, which graduates more than 4,000 students a year, enrolled 21,480 students in 2013-14. It has had record application numbers this spring, surpassing 10,000 for the first time in its history. As of last week, more than 10,500 students had applied for first-time admission in fall 2014.
