Resident Tuition for Citizens of the Freely Associated States
Effective July 1, 2024, citizens of the Freely Associated States (Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau) are eligible for the resident tuition rate at all public colleges and universities in the United States of America.
The reduction does not grant bona fide Washington residency; however, it reduces the amount of the non-resident portion of tuition.
