***INFORMATION ABOUT IN STATE TUITION***
Dear Boonshoft Out of State Students,
It has been determine that WSU/BSOM will grant in state tuition if you meet one of the following criteria:
- Forever Buckeye: If you graduated from an Ohio high school, you will receive in-state tuition starting your first year at BSOM.
- Indiana Reciprocity: If you are from one of the following counties in Indiana, you may receive in-state tuition starting your first year of medical school.
- Adams, Allen, Blackford, Clark Dearborn, Decatur, Delaware, Fayette, Franklin, Henry, Jay, Jefferson, Jennings, Randolph, Ripley, Rush, Scott, Switzerland, Union, Wayne and Wells
- Independent Student: A financially independent student who has lived in Ohio for a full, 12 consecutive months immediately preceding the semester for which he or she is applying for residency and who can present clear and convincing proof that no part of his or her financial support during the preceding twelve consecutive months has been provided directly or indirectly by persons or entities who are not residents of Ohio. Students who are claimed on federal income taxes by parents who are not Ohio residents are not eligible for Ohio residency. These students do not meet the definition of independent student under this rule. In general, if a student borrows maximum financial aid loan assistance during their first year of medical school, they may be granted in-state tuition for future years of medical school.
The above information is the main reasons BSOM students are granted in-state tuition.
Take care,
Michelle
