My family currently lives in NY, but my dad has been working in NJ for about a year and we were thinking about moving, so I applied to Rutgers NB. I got accepted, have already committed, but we haven’t moved yet. Can i apply for in state tuition after ive lived in NJ for a year (and finished my first year of college?) or do you have to be a NJ resident for a year BEFORE starting college to qualify for in state tuition?
Usually you have to be a resident of the state for a year before you start college there…to get instate tuition.
Ask the school and get their answer in writing.
Does your family qualify for the new Excelsior scholarship for NYS students? If household income in 2015 was under $100,000, I believe SUNY or CUNY tuition is covered, which would save your family a lot of money.
If you are worried about OOS tuition at Rutgers, I am assuming you would not be able to attend there for $15,000 a year? ( approximate cost of room and board, fees at SUNY)
