   4. Veterans who received an honorable discharge, enrolled at Indiana University within 12 months of separation or discharge from the armed forces of the United States or the Indiana National Guard, and who begin establishing legal residency in Indiana within the first twelve months of enrollment (or the spouse/dependent child of said veteran who also begins establishing legal residency in Indiana); or
   5. A veteran, spouse of a veteran, or dependent child of a veteran, who is using Post 9/11 GI Bill®, or Montgomery GI Bill® benefits who is domiciled in the state of Indiana and who enrolled while the service member is on active duty; or
   6. A veteran, spouse of a veteran, or dependent child of a veteran who is using Post 9/11 GI Bill®, or Montgomery GI Bill® benefits and the veteran served at least 90 days of active duty and who is domiciled in the state of Indiana.
   7. Recipients of the Department of Veterans Affairs Marine Gunnery Sergeant John David Fry Scholarship.

2. Students who meet the above qualifications will be charged the same tuition as in-state residents, but this does not make them a resident of that state of Indiana. Students who believe they should be classified as a resident of the state of Indiana should consult USSS-07 and their campus residency appeal process.
3. The in-state tuition rate charges via residency exception will apply to all academic levels and continue as long as the student remains continuously enrolled.
