Definition of "International Student"

<p>If I am not American but go to school in the US (all 4 years of high school), and use my US address, do I still count as international?</p>

<p>If you don’t have a green card, then you are an int’l.</p>

<p>However, some states will only charge you in-state rates because you went to high school in their state. Check your state’s rules.</p>

<p>If you are a US citizen, permanent resident (green card status), or fall into one of the other categories of students who are eligible to file the FAFSA, you are a domestic applicant for financial aid, and most colleges/universities will classify you as a domestic applicant. If you aren’t eligible to file the FAFSA, you are an international applicant for financial aid, and most colleges/universities will classify you as an international applicant.</p>

<p>As mom2collegekids wrote above, since you have completed your HS education in the US, the public colleges and universities in your state of residence may consider you in-state for tuition purposes. However you do need to investigate their specific policies. This is not possible in all states.</p>

<p>You also need to find out if you can study with your current visa status, or if you need to convert to an F-1 in order to do so.</p>
