<p>So I went to The American Center of my country, and the EducationUSA adviser told me that, from my second year, The international tuition fee converts or changes to in-state tuition fees for all students. And it happens in Michigan State Uni.</p>
<p>So guys, is it true? I couldn't find anything about it on internet. Help me with that information please!</p>
<p>Typically, no it doesn’t change. All universities are different but their residency requirements can be similar and tough. The public schools are funded by the state’s taxpayers. It takes a lot to get in-state tuition like having a full-time job and paying taxes. But non-citizens are not really allowed to work. Your student visa does not permit you to work very many hours and most jobs are part time.
International students are admitted because they pay full fees for all four years. </p>
<p>Here is the link for Michigan:

If you are a non-citizen, you do not qualify for in-state residency.</p>
<p>okay, got it.</p>
<p>BTW, do you know if Michigan State University gives scholarships to international students or not? </p>
<p>Tanmoy, this is not true for international students at Michigan State University. In order to obtain in-state residency, students must live and work in Michigan for 12 months without taking any classes. You can read full details at <a href=“MSU RO: Regulations for Qualifying for In-State Tuition”>www.reg.msu.edu/ROInfo/Notices/Residency.asp</a>. This may be possible in other states, but this does not apply in Michigan. </p>
<p>Can you let us know what center you visited so we can correct them with this information? Thanks! </p>
<p>Well, my adviser was confused about that and I let them know about the fact. Thanks for correcting me! :)</p>
