Explanation:


What is an in-state resident and out-of-state resident?

The education system in the United States is controlled by individual states, rather than by the federal government. Each state has its own “public” institutions that are run and funded by the state. Funding for these schools comes from the state residents in the form of taxes. As a result, these state residents are able to attend the public institutions at a lower cost than people who are not residents of the state. This cost to the state residents is referred to as in-state tuition. The cost to residents from other states is known as out-of-state tuition.

-- BEFORE becoming a "student", someone has first to be "resident" of THE State where is the University, so "pour résidents" is enough -

-- as "in-state" is ALWAYS defined in reference to a specific State, you have to use "l'article défini" i.e. "de l'Etat" (implied: "THE State where is located the University")

disagree  Francois Boye: The in-state tuition is only for the students residing in a US state

  ->  Who said anything else??? In most cases it would be blindingly obvious from the context that "the State" is one the US of A, otherwise it could be added. You didn't either specify "a state **of the US of A**" so your disagree rings a bit hollow ...

neutral  Eliza Hall: Agree re: no need to mention students. "L'Etat" in FR = the nation/country, so using it here is confusing verging upon wrong. In this case, I would say "d'un état donné" or "de l'état dont il s'agit" or maybe "de l'état en question."

  -> yes, you could expand that way - if necessary, like for the first occurrence. In a table of fees you could put column headers simply as "résidents" and "non-résidents" - implicitly "de l'état en question"// a US "State" *is* a "country".

disagree  GILOU: Majuscule sur E, vos révisions ne sont pas à jour...

neutral  Germaine: Cf. discussion au sujet de "résidents". Peut-être plutôt ressortissants vs. non-ressortissants d'un état donné.

Explanation:
Un concept des universités américaines

Most states require that someone live as a resident for a full year prior to the start of school in order to qualify for in-state tuition. However, this time period can vary widely among the different states.

disagree  Daryo: "d'un état" would mean resident of ANY state, not only of the state in which the University is. // That is clear, but the problem is that the way you formulated it, it doesn't mean that.
