In-state Tuition means tuition rates charged to students who are residents of the state where the institution is located.
Long definition: In-state tuition refers to the reduced tuition fees that residents of a particular state pay when attending a public college or university located within that state. These lower tuition rates are offered as a financial benefit to students who are legal residents of the state, often as a result of paying state taxes or meeting specific residency requirements. In-state tuition rates are typically significantly lower than out-of-state or international tuition rates, making higher education more affordable for local residents.
Etymology: The term "in-state" simply refers to being within the borders or territory of a particular state and "tuition" originates from the Latin word "tuitionem", meaning "guardianship" or "protection".
Synonyms or related academic terms: Resident tuition, Local tuition, State resident tuition.
