Western Undergraduate Exchange Program (WUE)
The Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) is a program of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE). Students who are residents of WICHE may be eligible for a rate of 150% of in-state tuition at participating two- and four-year college programs outside of their home state. The WUE tuition rate is not automatically awarded. Many institutions limit the number of new WUE awards each academic year, so it is best to apply to colleges early.
WICHE participants include Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Northern Mariana Islands, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
Keep in mind that there is not a separate application for the WUE. Students apply directly to the college of their choice and indicate on the application that they would like to be considered for the WUE discount.
