Hello,
I am an out of state student who got accepted to Temple. i was wondering is there any options to be considered as an in state student after a year or something. I know NY does like that. and are there any scholarship opportunities for pharmacy students at Temple? why is it so expensive for a public school?

I know how you feel! I am also an out of state student and the tuition there is really high! They only give us 3 weeks to respond whether we want to go there or not after we are accepted...and I still haven't heard back yet from my #1 choice school...so I'm not sure what to do, other than put down my deposit. 🙁

I'm fairly sure you can't pay in-state tuition after the first year at Temple, unless you go through extreme measures such as marrying someone or buying property in PA. I can probably count the number of public schools that allow in-state tuition after the first year on one hand.

you would have to apply to be a resident of the state, minimum time that you have to live in the state varies usually a year or more, you absolutly don't have to marry anyone but you will most likely have to provide proof that you lived in the state for the required time and usually have to provide some sort of proof that you will not be leaving the state once you graduate, usually you cannot make money outside of the state either and will need to get a new license, each state is diff though, call temple I'm sure they answer this question often

You can appeal but there's no guarantee that you'll get in-state tuition.

Generally speaking, a student who has resided in Pennsylvania for at least twelve (12) continuous months immediately prior to enrollment at Temple University or any other institution of higher education in Pennsylvania is presumed to be a resident for tuition purposes.

Conversely, a student who has not resided in Pennsylvania for a period of twelve (12) continuous months immediately prior to enrollment at the University or any other institution of higher education in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is presumed not to be a resident of Pennsylvania for tuition purposes. However, these students may rebut this presumption with clear and convincing evidence.
