In-state Tuition Rules

Applying to College
1

<p>I have one parent living in AZ and one in RI. I have lived in AZ for a while now and go to college here currently. I would like to transfer to school in RI and one of my parents currently lives there now. Can I still get in-state tuition in RI???</p>

<p>I have worked there in the last few summers so I have a RI address and paycheck. My father has lived there many years. So is there some way to get around everything to get in-state tuition in RI???? </p>

<p>Could I put my father on my FAFSA??</p>

<p>Thanks appreciate the input!</p>

<p>If one of your parents has been paying income and property taxes in RI, then yes, you do qualify for in-state tuition (but ONLY if the parent who lives in RI declares you as a dependent on his/her tax return, I think). </p>

<p>re: FAFSA, you are required to put <em>both</em> parents' info down, regardless of whether or not you live with just one of them.</p>
