NO. Even out of state PR holders or US citizens need to satisfy the state residency requirement before he or she is eligible to receive in-state tuition fees. Students from anywhere are eligible to receive in-state tuition if the department has arranged for financial assistance to include partial or full remission of tuition fee.

Thanks paradox - I found this petition on GSU's website. Could you tell me if this is filled with documents relating to the financial sponsor/guardian who is a green card holder. Can the student be elegible for in state?

paradox is right. if you are f-1 you are out-of-state. there are no exceptions I know of. Further, there are no tax benefits for the sponsor of an f-1

I cannot answer in definite term but based on the link you have provided, it appears that there is NO provision made for F1-status to receive in-state tuition fee in the State of Georgia.

I do however know that there are universities where if one or both of your parents graduated from that university, the children are eligible to receive in-state tuition rate from the respective university regardless of your visa status.

Actually, there are ways. I am currently paying in-state tuition as an F1 student. They waived the non-resident tuition based on my grades. It's possbile but you need to have connections.
