College hopefuls living outside Utah will soon be allowed to pay in-state tuition at some of the state's public institutions, thanks to a law passed by the Legislature earlier this year.

Starting Wednesday, the "Good Neighbor Policy" will allow Dixie State College to accept residents in northern Arizona and southeastern Nevada, charging them thousands less in tuition while pumping up the college's own enrollment numbers.

The new policy covers Clark and Lincoln counties in Nevada, including residents of Mesquite, Logandale and Las Vegas, and residents of Mohave and Coconino counties in Arizona.
