<p>I know it depends from school to school, but do most schools have a way to allow some of its out-of-state students to pay in-state, or significantly close to it?</p>
<p>The ones I’m mainly looking at are U of Wash, UMich, and UCLA</p>
<p>U of Wash participates in one of the academic common markets…if your state participates with that they MIGHT grant you instate tuitions.</p>
<p>UMich and UCLA do not grant instate tuition to OOS students in most cases.</p>
<p>Thumper, if you are thinking of the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) through WICHE, I don’t believe UWash is a party. Maybe you are referring to another academic common market? The OP can search the UWash website and find the very detailed requirements for establishing in-state residency. No, it will not be an easy thing to accomplish.</p>
<p>Greta, that was what I was thinking about. I guess U Wash doesn’t participate. </p>
<p>To student01…in MOST cases OOS students pay OOS tuition. There are some schools (U of South Carolina and U of North Texas) where if you get a scholarship in excess of a certain amount, you get a reduction of your tuition. BUT generally speaking, if you are from OOS you pay OOS tuition.</p>
<p>If you really want to pay instate tuition, apply to and attend a school in the state in which you and your family currently reside.</p>
<p>if you are a military dependent, you can get in-state tuition in any state in which you have resided. that is the only circumstance i know of by which you can get in-state tuition out of state</p>
<p>If you’re from North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, or Minnesota you recieve instate tuition in any of their public schools I believe.</p>
<p>I don’t think Iowa is included but it wouldn’t be bad to check up on.</p>
<p>Definitely not for Michigan or UCLA. The both seek full pay OOS students.</p>
<p>IBfootballer, that only applies to the state in which your family resides when you go to college. We lived in CA and once we moved out (since the children were not old enough to attend college then) we would pay out of state now.</p>
<p>Don’t residents of the District of Columbia (DC) have the ability to pay instate residency anywhere?</p>

<p>Not true. It has to be the state in which the family is residing when you begin college, and not all states grant it. Also some do not grandfather in-state tuition, so if your family moves during college, you become an out-of-state student.</p>
<p>Had a client a few years ago heading to UCLA. The admin rep made it sound like a piece of cake to get in-state after one year at the school. We printed out the policy and laid it out in black and white before her.</p>
<p>It’s amazing what gets said sometimes. I’m afraid there are a lot of kids out there getting stung by reps who don’t even know their own policies.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Cap, some states (including NY) will recognize residency for the military family in their home state even if they’re currently stationed elsewhere when the student is in college. I believe it’s called “home of record”.</p>
<p>If you type “residency” into the search box on collegeboard.com you’ll come up with each state’s policy on residency for tuition and student aid. Beyond that, some schools do give instate rates to OOS as an incentive, like merit aid.</p>

<p>Correct, but I was addressing the “any state you have lived in” part. And it is for the state for which the MM is a resident, which is not necessarily the home of record state. The HOR can only be changed by a break in service, but the the residency can be changed by normal means. </p>
<p>ie. - You enter the service in OH, but later change your residency to FL to take advantage of the no income tax. Your home of record will always be OH, but you could change your residency to whatever state you are stationed in if you desire and follow the laws to do so. Each state handles military personnel just a bit differently.</p>
