In-State Ohio Tuition for Military

Paying for College
1

<p>I read somewhere that Ohio has an unusual law that allows military members, veterans, and their dependents to qualify for in-state tuition even if they move to the state the day before registration.</p>

<p>Has anybody taken advantage of this benefit, or know more details about it?</p>

<p>Here you go… the program also has recently been expanded</p>

<p>Thanks sybbie. That’s exactly the information I was looking for.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if other states have a similar offer, or is Ohio truly unique with this program?</p>

<p>I believe I read Colorado does. Also check out the Yellow Ribbon lists to see what they say by state.</p>

<p>All New Mexico public univerities offer in-state tuition rates to all active duty military personnel, all military veterans, to dependants of any active duty military who live or are stationed in New Mexico, and to dependents of military personnel who lost their lives while on active duty. (Dependents must move to NM within 60 days after the death of the military member.) </p>

<p>No waiting periods. In-state rates effective immediately upon moving to NM.</p>

<p>These tuition waivers are also available to National Guard members and their families.</p>
