In-state question

[funkydesi]

<p>I have a question about UVa’s In-state privileges. I am currently living in Illinois, but my father has been living in Virginia for the past 4 months. Would any of you know if I would qualify for in-state privileges? Also, if not, would being my high school’s Jefferson Scholarship nominee help me out in my application?</p>

<p>a) unless you live with him, no, i don’t think you’re instate…and you usually have to live in a state for a year before…contact the admissions dept, they’d give you a quick and easy answer
b) yes, but do remember that only around 3% of nominees actually become scholarship recipients…but yes, having it means you’re top of your school usually, but they’ll still fpcus on GPA/SATs</p>

<p>I have the same situation, except I live in VA and my dad lives in Michigan. The residency form for Umich states that I am eligible for residency if my father lives in Michigan and is employed here and all that stuff.</p>

Q: If my parents are divorced am I eligible for in-state educational privileges if I live outside of Virginia and my non-custodial parent lives in Virginia?
A: Yes, if the non-custodial parent contributes substantially to your support and is domiciled in Virginia.

Q: How long must I be domiciled in Virginia before I can be considered “in-state”?
A: A student, parent(s) or spouse must be domiciled in Virginia for at least twelve continuous months immediately preceding the first day of classes. This means the student parent(s) or spouse must actually reside in Virginia during this period while simultaneously demonstrating their intent to be domiciled in Virginia. Intent is demonstrated by, among other things, paying resident taxes to Virginia, obtaining a Virginia driver’s license, car & voter registrations.

Four months is not long enough to qualify for in-state privileges, but by the time you begin classes, it will have been 12 months. There might be some complications in filing because of this, but you should be able to get in-state tuition.</p>

<p>just call the admissions office, and state the exact day he changed his perm. address, and they’ll help you out</p>
