Board of Regents' “Forever Buckeyes” program to stimulate Ohio’s workforce
In an effort to encourage the return of young people and former Ohioans to the state, the Ohio Board of Regents included a provision in the last biennial budget called, "Forever Buckeyes." This provision will "extend the in-state resident tuition rate to any Ohio high school graduate who leaves the state but returns to enroll in an Ohio college and also establishes residency in Ohio," Fox Toledo reports. Additionally, this unique provision eliminates the 12-month waiting period that is currently required to establish residency, Columbus Business First reports.
