Are you absolutely sure you’re not in-state? You should check with the public schools in the last state you lived in to be sure. I have friends who lived their entire lives in Saudi Arabia as American citizens (one of them had never even been to Texas) and still got in-state tuition to Texas schools because that is where their parents lived before moving.

This is just one example from the UGA website:

“Dependents of U.S. citizens living abroad who consider themselves residents of Georgia must provide documentation showing Georgia as their last state of residency, as well as Georgia tax records and proof of a prior domicile in Georgia to which they may return.”

Most states have a similar rule I would imagine.
