So I live in Europe and go to school on a American Military Base. Does anyone know if colleges consider me as a international student or not.
You are considered an international student but attending to an American high-school may waive you the TOEFL requirement from some, it may even allow you to be eligible to some scholarships, and apply via Questbridge if you are a low income student.
If you’re a US citizen/PR then you’re NOT an int’l applicant. You would be a domestic applicant w overseas residency. You would be eligible for US Federal financial aid.
What PrimeMeridian states is correct. What @Mrduque says is incorrect about international status. It’s purely based upon citizenship or permanent residency status.
If you’re a US citizen, you’re a domestic applicant. @T26E4, are children of military personnel stationed overseas ever considered in-state or can they expect to pay out-of-state rates everywhere?
@austinmshauri From what I recall, many public colleges will offer in-state tuition rates to kids of military families who are deployed or not in any “home” state. it’s worth investigating the individual school fin aid or bursar’s webpages.
@T26E4 he only talks about going to a American school in a military base, but nothing about possessing a green card or citizenship.
If he possesses one of those status then you are right, otherwise he is only an international student in an American school which may only provide the benefits that I mentioned above. Let’s see what the OP says.
The guidance counselors at your own high school should be able to answer this question for you! Ask them how students like you have been treated in previous years.
