What is the New England Regional Student Program (NERSP)?
NERSP is a tuition program for out-of-state students with a permanent address in New England. It’s administered by the New England Board of Higher Education, and lowers the overall cost of out-of-state tuition by approximately $6,500.
Beginning in the fall of 2019, UMass Lowell offers the New England Regional Student Program (NERSP) tuition breaks to all New England residents enrolled in any full-time undergraduate degree program.
- Students with a permanent residence in Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont qualify for the NERSP discount.
- No additional application is required.
- You’ll still be eligible to apply for financial aid through other sources if you’re accepted into NERSP.
- Visit The Solution Center for more information on tuition and fees.
