Allow all U.S. citizens living abroad to designate a home state for purposes of qualifying for college in-state tuition.

All U.S. citizens living abroad and who have children, whether born abroad or in the U.S., should be able to choose or designate one U.S. state for purposes of qualifying for in-state tuition at public universities. Currently, with the exception of Foreign Service or military families, children of Americans living abroad are always forced to pay out-of-state tuition, even if they retain strong family ties to one or more states. In the absence of any such provision, it is often infinitely less expensive for Americans living abroad to study abroad, and then most often remain abroad, rather than return to the U.S. Current practice discriminates against U.S. citizens living abroad who pay U.S. taxes and and are allowed to vote in U.S. state and federal elections.
