WV also has incentive programs to lure people to the state, to the tune of ~$20k. It's not the only state doing this.

WV paid for my college to get me to stay there, work commitment of 1 year per semester they paid for, had to maintain a certain GPA, and it had to be a state funded college. Failure to meet the work commitment would have made it convert to a loan at the highest rate of any federally backed student loan at that time. With those caveats it was essentially a full ride.
