*** Marcia Rubinstien, Director of EDUFAX, comments:
Some state universities offer special tuition packages to
semi-finalists and finalists in their own states and several
state universities, such as the University of Texas, offer
special tuition fees to finalists in a range of states
surrounding their own. If you are a recognized student in the
NMSQT, it is wise and often quite rewarding to inquire what
benefits a school might offer in acknowledgement of your
excellent performance.
