State universities charging out-of-state tuition prices through the use of durational residency requirements is unconstitutional in violation of the Privileges and Immunities Clause of Article IV for students who come into a state in order to attend school there because the practice hinders the operation of a system of …

If a student from another state wants to attend that same school, he or she pays more tuition — the out-of-state rate. Schools’ reasoning for charging higher out-of-state tuition is because non-resident students’ come from families who haven’t paid tax dollars to the state, and thus to the school.

Juxtaposing the California statute against those decisions, this Note will argue that, despite the generally accepted notion that such requirements are constitutionally permissible, any durational residency requirement for in-state tuition at a public university is unconstitutional.

Each state has its own “public” institutions that are run and funded by the state. Funding for these schools comes from the state residents in the form of taxes. This cost to the state residents is referred to as in-state tuition. The cost to residents from other states is known as out-of-state tuition.

So, what’s in state vs. In-state tuition refers to the rate paid by students with a permanent residence in the state in which their university is located. Out-of-state tuition refers to the rate that students coming from outside the state, including international students, pay to attend a public state school.

Does financial aid cover out-of-state tuition? The short answer is yes.

Since the state tax-payer’s money is involved in the funding of these institutions, residents of the state are offered subsidised tuition in the form of in-state tuition fees. Those residing outside the State as well as international students are required to pay out-of-state tuition.

Residency requirements are often encoded in state statute, and vary significantly from state to state. But generally, a dependent student must have at least one parent who is a state resident for at least one full year before the student matriculated in college.

International students may be able to receive in-state tuition through certain tuition waivers, such as a competitive scholarship waiver or a waiver for working as a research assistant or teaching assistant.

International students in U.S. universities don’t qualify for In-State tuition fees based on residency status. To qualify as a State resident, each U.S. university had set a criteria that students must satisfy.

International students benefit from several forms of financial aid, including grants, scholarships, and assistantships. Recipients use these forms of financial aid to pay for college. Unlike a loan, grants, scholarships, and assistantships do not require recipients to repay awards.

Undocumented students may incorrectly assume that they cannot legally attend college in the United States. However, there is no federal or state law that prohibits the admission of undocumented immigrants to U.S. colleges, public or private.

The employer must petition for you to the U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and get approval. For the nonimmigrant visas, the F-1 student cannot self-petition. Only the employer can start the process. After getting the dual intent visa, the international student can try to apply for the Green Card.
