Neither a regional compact nor a bilateral agreement links New Hampshire and Wyoming. That leaves two routes to a lower rate: an institutional scholarship from the campus itself, or 12 months of Wyoming domicile.
5 other states offer New Hampshire residents a reduced undergraduate rate, the lowest being Maine at about $22,050. At home, in-state undergraduate tuition is $19,000 at University of New Hampshire, so Wyoming works out at $2,000 a year more than staying home.
Worth checking before you accept the non-resident rate: whether the campus offers a border-county waiver, a legacy or alumni rate, or a merit award pegged to the residency gap. These are institutional decisions and they are not published centrally.

Wyoming residency, in brief
Wyoming grants in-state tuition after 12 months of domicile before the term begins (Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 21-17-105), and a financially dependent student takes the parents' domicile. Moving to Wyoming to enroll does not by itself start the clock.
Wyoming residency requirements in full · how long every state requires
Step by step
- Budget for the non-resident rate at University of Wyoming: $21,000 a year against $6,700 for residents.
- Check whether the specific campus you want offers its own non-resident scholarship or a border-county waiver — those are institutional, sit outside the state agreements, and are the most commonly missed discount.
- If you plan to stay, price the residency route: Wyoming requires 12 months of domicile, and a financially dependent student takes the parents' domicile, so the family would need to move.
- Read the University of Wyoming / Wyoming Community College Commission rules in full before you enroll — classification is decided once, and re-classification later in a degree is the hardest version of this problem.
