6. Kansas
- Top reasons to move here: Student loan reimbursement, as well as reduced income taxes
Also known as the Sunflower State, Kansas is home to approximately 2.9 million people. It lures new college graduates to move to it by giving them student-loan repayments.
The program in which college grads can receive student-loan repayments is called The Rural Opportunity Zone Program (ROZ), and it is actually available in 77 counties across Kansas. This successful program provides up to $15,000 to Kansas’ new residents in order to get rid of loan payments.
If someone in your family is interested in receiving this type of financial help, he or she must have received his/her before relocating to a county where ROZ is available. He or she must also have a great loan balance in order to get the $15,000 spread over 5 years.
A ROZ county does so much more to new college graduates: it waives the state’s income taxes. However, you must have lived outside of the state for at least five years before moving to any of the 77 ROZ counties.
