Jewish Agency probes applicant process after Eilat shooting - Jerusalem Post [getdailynow.blogspot.com]
Question by Luke: How do I know if I am "in-state" student? I want to go to College of Charleston. Basically I just moved down to Naples Florida yesterday. I have a job down here I am going to work till next semester hopefully. I have been living in Columbia South Carolina though for the past 5 years. And my family is from SC. I don't really know what information is relevant. How would I qualify for "in-state"? It's like a $ 15,000 difference... Best answer for How do I know if I am "in-state" student?:

Look on the college website for Residency. Different states have different laws, so check the website to know. Check ASAP because some states are very strict, like my state CA, some are more lenient. You want to make sure you don't do anything to change your residency by working in another state, so be careful, but usually a temporary job in another state is fine if you don't try to establish residency. Don't do stuff like get a FL license or register to vote there. Good luck!

Following a deadly shooting incident in Eilat on Friday morning, Jewish Agency chairman Natan Sharansky appointed a panel to examine the processes by which the American gunman was accepted to the "Israel Way" program, formerly known as Oranim, in Eilat.
The 23-year-old shooter from New York, was in Israel as a part of the Israel Way program supported by the Jewish Agency, that brings Jews from around the world for volunteer work, study and internship.
The man was fired from his internship in the hotel kitchen a day before the shooting, which left one person dead and three others suffering from shock. Sharansky expressed his deep sorrow at the loss of life.
He arrived in the morning hours to the hotelâs kitchen, where he began arguing with an employee. He then grabbed a gun from a security guard who tried to break up the fight, and started shooting, killing his fellow kitchen employee. Police later identified the victim as Abed Armando from Mi'ilya, aged 33.
Police said that the gunman subsequently barricaded himself in the kitchen and they deployed special patrol units. Officers conducted negotiations with the shooter and said that he didn't have hostages.
About an hour after the incident began, the Counterterrorism Unit shot and killed the gunman in the kitchen. Shots were fired back and forth but no police were injured in the raid.
'His medical record was clean'
The Israel Way program through which the shooter registered to work in Israel is one of the organizations that operates MASA.
In a press release issued on Friday, the organization Israel Way, which is owned by Egged tours, said that the shooter came to Israel on the 27th of August in order to take part in the MASA program, one of many programs in Israel supported by the Jewish Agency for Israel and the Israeli government.
The organization said "since he met all of the criteria for acceptance and his medical record was clean, he was accepted into the program".
Israel Way said the man was supposed to spend five months in Israel, working at a hotel in Eilat and taking part in field trips across Israel in order to get to know the country first-hand.
Israel Way said that after hotel staff complained about his behavior, a meeting was held on Thursday between the heads of the program and the shooter, during which it was decided that he would leave the program and return to the US this coming Tuesday, leave Eilat and stay with family living in Israel.
The young man was part of a group of 80 such students working in Eilat as part of the MASA program.
