This is a dependent child (teen) that is still claimed on father's taxes in another state. This teen does not live with me at this time.

My son wishes to transfer here to complete education and live here.

The info on college websites is not very real clear on this issue and my emails have not been responded to.

Anyone have info or know where to start in my search for clarification on this issue?

Thanks!

Why doesn't your son call the Admission or Financial Aid offices at the College of his choice and begin an inquiry Mom?

Call either a State University Admissions Office or State Ed Department.

This is a fact. The application for many colleges requires your residence for the last 12 months, your high school name and address for transcripts along with a GPA etc. I wouldn’t rely on just having a Florida address for the free school. What if the high school diploma was from South Dakota?

I have an adopted daughter who did not graduate from a Florida high school, is attending a Florida college, and is receiving in state tuition
