I'm contemplating Grad school next year but in several different states.
The issue of course will be the out of state tuition, which I certainly don't want to pay. Is there any school at all in the U.S., that doesn't require you to pay a Non Resident tuition?
What do people usually do in this situation? I know friends who went for their undergrad in a different states but that probably meant their parents had to pay out of state tuition for them-unless there is a way to go around that?
What about Grad school?
I'm actually considering grad school in Europe at this point, as it is way cheaper.
What kind of grad school? For professional programs, you are often stuck with out of state tuition.
For academic programs, it is normally extremely easy to get an in-state tuition scholarship that at least lowers the cost of tuition from out of state levels to in-state levels. These types of scholarships are often automatic with an RA or TA, even if the RA/TA itself does not give full tuition remission (many do).

It's going to be a masters in Economics. What kind of scholarships?
If possible in economics (and I don't know if it is) you want to look for teaching assistantships or research assistantships (TA or RA). These may only be available for Ph.D. students.
In the sciences and engineering almost all graduate students receive support from one or both of these. Usually that support is tuition plus stipend.
I believe RA and TA positions are very competitive right? From what I've heard, it isn't a type of job that anyone can just get hired for.
The other way to look at this is: departments can tell who the good students are and are happy to offer them support. If you are not good they are happy to take your money.
Why exactly would you go to grad school if you were not "pretty good?"
A. No. Each individual must establish his/her own domicile as prescribed by the tuition law. **
