All Missouri residents, including lawful permanent residents, pay the lowest tuition rate for both undergraduate and graduate programs.
We offer a tuition discount equal to the in-state tuition rate to all undergraduate students from Kansas and graduate students from certain Kansas counties.
We offer a tuition discount, equal to 150% of the in-state tuition rate, for all undergraduate students who are residents of Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas or Wisconsin.
Graduate students — with the exception of those enrolled in law, medicine, dentistry and pharmacy professional programs — who live in the Kansas City area qualify for the Metro rate, a discount equal to the in-state tuition rate.
Residents of Wisconsin, Kansas, Ohio, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana and North Dakota enrolled in select graduate programs are eligible for the Midwest Student Exchange Program (MSEP) tuition discount.
Active military members, as well as those who have been honorably or generally discharged, who are currently living in Missouri or Kansas qualify for a tuition discount. Military spouses and dependents also qualify.
If you can provide proof of residency in Missouri or Kansas for the 12 months before the semester starts, you may submit an in-state residency status application form and the required documents, along with a $250 non-refundable processing fee. You must be enrolled for the term for which you are petitioning.
