If you have a Junior or Senior high school student entering college soon, I would suggest visiting the Midwestern Higher Education Compact website to see if their college or university is participating in the program.  This is a way a student can reduce the cost of attending college.

What is the MSEP?

MHEC helps improve access to postsecondary education through the Midwest Student Exchange Program (MSEP). Since 1994, the MSEP has provided more affordable opportunities for students to attend out-of-state institutions. The MSEP serves as the Midwest’s largest multi-state tuition reciprocity program. MSEP is not a scholarship.

Over 140 colleges and universities in Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and Wisconsin have opened their doors to each others’ citizens at more affordable rates. Although the Midwestern Higher Education Compact is composed of twelve Midwestern states, the MSEP is a voluntary program (as are all MHEC programs) and only eight of the twelve states participate. Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota, and Ohio do not participate in MSEP at this time. Click here for more information.
