While illegal nationals of other countries are given in-state tuition rates at state universities - dependants of active duty military assigned to states other than their home states are not, or they are for a limited length of time. Check your state and see if illegals but not military dependants are given in-state tuition.

Virginia passed a law in April that will go into effect until July 2006. Colorado just passed, this session, Senate Bill 32 that allows dependants of military personnel assigned to Colorado to pay in-state tuition.

This is an intercative map of the US that lists the states that allow or disallow dependants of military to recieve in-state tuition at state funded schools. You will notice that several states shaded in red do not.
