@205mom <<< In-state, at least I’m my state, (CA) means the property is NOT rented out.<<<
What are you saying?
The student would not get instate rates in Calif if his parents bought property in Calif…even if the child lived in that property.
Thumper, that applies to most schools, but not UT-Austin. There are a VERY few OOS waivers given. The school of engineering, for example, has seven or eight waivers TOTAL, for all students (not 7 or 8 per year).
The student has to support himself more than 50%, at least that’s what it was a couple of years ago. Actually, what the rules state exactly is that the student is not considered eligible if the PARENTS contribute more than 50%. They don’t mention grandparents or other relatives. That’s how my son was able to satisfy that requirement (I asked UT about it, so they knew what we were doing).
