If you are applying to state schools, you may be able to use a DC tuition assistance grant to lower the cost. See here: DCTAG Fast Facts Brochure | osse . My understanding is that it only covers something like $10k, so that might not be the entire difference between in-state and out-of-state. If your child wants to attend a Maryland state school, I’d definitely use that address to lower the cost and get you in state rates. Any other state, and you might want to use the DC address which might qualify you to get the grant. That said, I’d also look pretty carefully at the grant requirements - with two different addresses you may not qualify, or perhaps the student needs to have attended a DC school or who knows what else.
