<p>I'm a California resident and UW tuition is over 20K. I can't afford that and in total if I want to attend, I need to take out $30,000 in loans! Which is ridiculous. How are you Out-of-State kids paying for UW? Apparently I was not eligible for a UW scholarship as well. </p>
<p>Any help/ideas? UW is my top choice and I would hate to not attend simply because I can't afford it. Thank you.</p>
<p>I’m also from California and i know! it is ridiculous how expensive it is. I’m only receiving a smaaaaaall amount from FAFSA and I am being forced to take out loans as well. I am going to try to get a job once im up there (despite the small difference it will make) and that’s pretty much all I can think to do. We are definitely in the same situation.</p>
<p>I’m in Az and I am in the same situation. The OOS tuition is crazy! Especially when they do not offer a lot financial aid or scholarships to non-washington residents:( my parents are trying to figure out how we are going to finance UW as we speak… Any current UW students who came from OOS have any ideas?</p>
<p>Especially when your EFC is 0! The biggest loan they gave me was a parent loan too! The last thing I want to do is place a burden that big on my parents.</p>
<p>my EFC is 0 too. I’m from cali. Still working this out with my parents but I think I will loan a portion of tuition (anywhere from 30% to 50%) and my parents said they would be willing to pay the rest. But then that’s just me. Too bad I don’t know how long it would take me to pay off the loan after college.</p>
<p>Try to establish some sort of residency here, so that you would then only have to pay in-state tuition. I don’t know the specifics for it, but it is something to look into as well.</p>
<p>A suggestion that may sound appealing to some, horrid to others: maybe you could join the National Guard? That establishes residency in what ever state you want it to be ( even WA!!) and I know that UW offers tuition at half off of instate for military (so about $6,000 a year for tuition). I think they cover all your college loans for you when you join too( never had to take out loans myself, so I’m not as sure on that part). It’s just a suggestion, and likely a contentious one, but it could help out if things get bad.</p>
<p>I thought they had the Husky Promise?</p>
<p>[Husky</a> Promise - washington.edu](<a href=“http://www.washington.edu/huskypromise/]Husky”>The Husky Promise)</p>
<p>@xaviFM unfortunately we are out of state, and thr husky promise only applies to washington residents</p>
<p>Establishing A Bona Fide Domicile (Residency Requirements)</p>
<p>The advice from the Office of the Attorney General, Education Division concerning presumption is that before domicile is established, an individual must do everything a resident of Washington is required to do (please see numbers 1-4 below).</p>
<p>To establish domicile in the state of Washington, students must provide documentation showing they meet the following guidelines:</p>
<pre><code>Students must prove conclusively that they have not come to Washington State primarily for educational purposes. Current guidelines require students who are enrolled for 7 credits or more a quarter must be employed at least 30 hours per week at a non-student job to overcome the presumption of educational purposes.
Live in the state for at least 12 consecutive months as legal residents. A legal resident is an individual who has relinquished all valid legal ties (e.g., driver’s license, voter registration, etc.) with their former state of residence and established such ties in Washington in accordance with state and local legislation.
Establish legal ties:
Employment (if taking more than 6 credits a quarter during the first year of being present in Washington State).
Driver’s license/state ID. Students must obtain a Washington State Driver’s License within 30 days of arrival if they have a current out-of-state driver’s license. Students who do not possess a driver’s license from any state, must obtain a Washington State Identification Card.
Vehicle registration. Students who own or drive a vehicle in Washington must be registered in Washington within 30 days of arrival.
Voter registration. Students who have a current out-of-state voter’s registration must register to vote in Washington within 30 days of arrival. If an individual has previously registered to vote in another state, they must register to vote in Washington. If the student does not register to vote in Washington, this means that s/he may still vote absentee in the prior state of residency
Establish a bank account in Washington.
Be financially independent for the current and prior calendar years. (Students who are not 25 years of age or older must submit their parents’ most recent tax returns).
</code></pre>
<p>Once the individual is in full compliance with all of Washington’s requirements for residency, then s/he, as of that final date of compliance, has established domicile. Once domicile is established, the student is eligible for in-state tuition 12 months from the date of arrival if all legal ties were in place within 30 days. This is because the Washington statute says that domicile must be in existence for one year immediately prior to the first day of the quarter for which the student wants to be classified as a resident.</p>
<p>Examples of other factors that may help students establish proof of domicile include: disposition of property in the former state of residence, relocation of household members, participation in local community organizations, and generally becoming involved in activities that will help prove their intent to make Washington their official place of residence.</p>

<p>XaviFM, Mand13 is right…in the link you provided:
Who is eligible for Husky Promise?</p>
<p>To be eligible for the Husky Promise you must:</p>
<p>• Be admitted to the University of Washington
• Be a Washington state resident
• Meet all eligibility criteria for the Pell Grant or State Need Grant Programs
• Submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) before the UW’s priority filing date of Feb. 28 for the following academic year. You must list the University of Washington (federal code #003798) as one of the colleges you wish to receive the results of your FAFSA
• Enroll full time at the UW
• Be pursuing a first bachelor’s degree
• Maintain satisfactory academic progress while at the UW
• Husky Promise is limited to twelve quarters of eligibility at the UW.</p>
<p>If you don’t qualify for Husky Promise, we still have grant, scholarship, work-study and loan funds that will help pay your educational costs.</p>
<p>UW pays me!</p>
<p>I’m an OOS kid as well, I just don’t know how I’m gonna pay for this besides through a small part time job which probably won’t put a dent in it. -___- let me know what you guys’ plans are because I’m planning to take out one years worth of loans then stay in an “established domicile” in UW with some relatives. I’m hoping then I’ll be able to piggy back off “Husky’s Promise”.</p>
<p>It’s impossible guys. this is my DREAM school )’: I don’t want to go to San Diego State…</p>
<p>This is just an idea, but you could transfer here after going to a community college for two years. If that doesn’t work for you, and you don’t plan to getting some sort of residency here, Then apply like crazy to a bunch of private scholarships. UW isn’t that friendly financially to OOS and don’t even give out too many merit based awards.</p>
<p>Xavier19, have you contacted the UW to see if you are eligible for In state etuition if you live with a relative?</p>
