2. How are they going to pay the tuition?
A&M is not cheap...I went there for a year, I know.

My brother said he heard on NPR that the gov. of TN said that any college student who had paid to go to school in LA could attend classes in TN for free.

4. I dunno
But chances are if they were already enrolled in school they already had their funding set up.
However...getting state minimum is ideal.
I have two kids that I pay out-of-district tuition for and it's a killer.

5. True
A&M's normal tuition is well above the state minimum, so they are getting a break.
