University of Alaska gives in state tuition to ALL military personel and their dependants/spouses. Most state universities do the same, and many private universities do as well. All he needs to do is to provide them with his military identification.

How long is he going to be stationed there?\nCan you go with him? It is in the States afterall.\nThis happens to alot of married Military.\nsome stay home because they don't want to move and they know that their spouse will be back in a year. but if it is for a longer period of time and you own a home you could rent it out and then rent a place where he is.\nIs moving out of the Question?\n\nGood Luck to you, i hope your dilemma gets resolved.

A student's residence is presumed to be that of the parent(s) or legal guardian unless the student is independent and establishes a separate residence. \n\nIn order to be classified as a resident for tuition purposes, an independent student must be a bona fide resident for at least six (6) months immediately preceding the first scheduled day of classes for the term for which residency is sought.

Call the local recruiter, and ask for the address of a local reserve unit from your area.\nThey will be happy to get an address for you.\n\nBless your heart....my son is over there.

You can contact the school and they should verify whether or not someone by his name graduated from the school.. \n\nI don't believe they'd do much more than that.. As someone who works at a major university I can almost guarantee you they WILL NOT offer you his grades without his permission in advance.  Many university's require students approval to release academic information to parents even while in school (most do, some will waive if student is still listed as a dependent).  I think that would apply just as much if not more so after he has graduated and left the school.  \n\nHowever, it is possible.. employers, etc will want to verify GPA and courses at time but I'm sure there is a waiver that must be provided.. \n\nYou might want to check the source below which is the Academic Policies and Procedures for that school.. if it doesn't answer your questions you can call the school and I'm sure they'd advise you..

Were your parents working on base or American Military. If not in military, you would not be a citizen. Try the American Embassy. They can usually find paperwork on all foreign born citizens.

Well, it depends on the university you are going to join. Also, the US consulate would check your financial status. I think you need to have IT returns of last three years, of your father's if you are a dependent. Also, his bank balance sheet over one year.\nBest is to talk to students who have already made it to the US. Imnteract and learn more realities from them.

My son was born in Germany....and I'm a soldier.\n\nShe should already have some kind of statement that states the child is his.  This might be difficult if he's being a jerk, but she can get help from the military.  The military doesn't joke around when it comes to taking care of children.  She might have to contact his commader at his unit to get a copy of his birth certificate.  If he is not cooperative she can go to the IG (Inspector General) or to JAG on the nearest military post.  After she gets the supporting documents needed to prove paternity, she needs to take all her paperwork to the US consulate and get a Certificate of Report of Birth Abroad.  It basically states that the baby is a US Citizen born to US parents abroad.  If she needs to know what other kinds of papers she'll need she should contact the consulate.\n\nGood luck!

If he is currently active duty, then you could talk with someone at your local red cross or USO (probably in your nearest international airport).  They can also provide you with a mailing address for him if he is overseas.  If he is not currently on active duty, eg. if you are looking for a unit he previously served in, then www.military.com might have the answers you are looking for.  Disbanded units often hold reunions, which are listed on the site too.  Good luck.

no, he's most likely a split op.  He goes to basic this summer and his AIT the summer after he graduates.  There's no way you could fit basic and AIT into one summer.  You cannot be deployed until you are MOS qualified, which means you have completed AIT.  So he won't be deployed while in high school.  He can go to basic, and other training, but he won't be send over seas

Military families most often deal with this situation.  When homeschooling in the states, they follow the rules of where they live vs where thier home is. \n\nFor families stationed overseas, they report to the local military community commander.  So I am led to believe that you might need to report to the local American Authority like the American Consolate in Brazil.\n\nI did manage to find one site that said:  The rules of homeschooling overseas in a civilian capacity (including missionaries, corporations, and other positions) are governed by the country in which you reside.\n\nAnother popular site says:  "My general advice is to contact the embassy of the country where you'll be, and ask about their compulsory education code and the exemptions to it. Do they allow for private schools or tutors? How does one qualify as a private school or tutor? Could you apply? If not, ask if your children can homeschool through a distance learning program, as enrollees in a distant private school."\n \nTo avoid that kind of hassle I would consider enrolling your child in a correspondence school so that your child is technically being educated by a US institution... at least while overseas.  You should choose a "school" that would eliminate your need to report or report for you.  Here is a list to consider. http://www.iched.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=iched&cat_id=profiles_index\n\nMy idea, I found backed by another website you will very well be interested in :  The following was written by an American living temporarily in Brazil.\n" The answers to my two concerns came together in one package -- a packaged home-study curriculum from an accredited private school in which my 2nd grader is actually enrolled and tested. It's as if she were attending classes there, except I teach her at home. Several such packages exist, but the most popular are Calvert School [http://www.calvertschool.org] which offers a traditional curriculum, Oak Meadow [http://www.oakmeadow.com] which offers a Waldorf approach, Clonlara [http://www.clonlara.org], and Laurel Springs [http://www.laurelsprings.com]. Most of these offer the curriculum (materials for the student and a guide for the teacher) with or without enrollment in the school. Some also offer online curricula, especially for upper grades."\n\nhttp://overseasdigest.com/july99.htm#Primer\n\nGood Luck, and have a great year!

Hey, I dunno if it will work since you think this dude/dudette is stationed overseas, but you can always try www.questdex.com and search for thier name under "residentials".

These things vary from school to school.  About residency, you need to ask his school or check the website for information.  At the University of California, dependent students are considered residents of the states in which their parents live.\n\nAbout financial aid, if he is reclassified and the tuition is higher, then he will probably be eligible for more financial aid.  Of course, on the other side, he might become ineligible for any aid offered only to state residents.  The exact details will again depend on the specific school situation.  The school's financial aid office will have specific answers to this.
