Would I qualify for in-state tuition?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Indiana University - Bloomington

I lived in Indiana from 2002 to 2016. In 2016, my mom and I moved to Iowa; however, we still own our house in Indiana. Right now, I am a high school senior who has recently applied to IU. I am considering to attend The Kelley School of Business. I have a GPA of 3.83 and an ACT score of 34, so I will get into Kelley as a direct admit. Additionally, I’m not sure this will make any difference, but my dad was a faculty member at the Indiana University School of Medicine before he died in 2014.

However, I have an Iowa driver’s license, my mom is registered to vote in Iowa, and our official address is in Iowa. Nevertheless, I still have lived in Indiana for most of my life and was a resident just as recently as 2 years ago (3 years when I begin college). Would I qualify for in-state tuition if I decide to attend Indiana University?

Why don’t you email the FA office and ask?

Ordinarily, I believe if your mom has been filing taxes in Iowa for the past two year, you would qualify for Iowa instate tuition, not IN. I’m not sure how it works if you still own property in IN and are paying property taxes. I would suggest calling IU and clarifying with them.

That said, we owned property in another state for a few years but our primary residence was still where my husband was employed and where my daughter graduated HS.
