<p>Ok, so I am US citizen born in Idaho.
I came to US by myself from Korea in my freshman year, second semester.
I went to CA high school for three and half years.
Am I considered a resident? My parents work in Korea, and they don’t turn in federal tax return…
If I’m not, do they take away my Cal Grant, scholarship,and pell grant?</p>
<p>tomathist - read the bottom exception to the usual rules for residency - depends on where and with who you lived since Freshman year - [Rules</a> Applying to Minors - Office Of The Registrar](<a href=“http://registrar.berkeley.edu/prospective_students/minors.html]Rules”>http://registrar.berkeley.edu/prospective_students/minors.html)</p>
<p>It says:</p>
<p>Two-Year Care and Control</p>
<p>Minor students who are U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens may be eligible for resident classification if they have lived with and have been under the continuous care and control of an adult or series of adults other than a parent for not less than two years. The requirements are:</p>
<p>The student must have lived with an adult, or series of adults, other than a parent, for at least two years immediately prior to the Residence Determination Date;</p>
<p>During this two-year period, the student must have been under the continuous direct care and control of these adults;</p>
<p>During the one year immediately prior to the residence determination date, the adult or adults must have been residents of California;</p>
<p>A student who is not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident must be eligible to establish residence once majority is reached;</p>
<p>The student must be under age 18 at the time s/he enrolls; once enrolled, the student must maintain full-time attendance at a post-secondary institution. If the student has enrolled in more than one post-secondary institution, her/his attendance in all post-secondary institutions must amount to continuous and full-time throughout the prescribed period. If the student qualified for this exemption at a community college or campus of the California State University, s/he will continue to be eligible upon transfer to the University of California, as long as the student maintained continuous attendance.</p>
<p>The student must live with the person having care and control and at no other address. No exceptions may be made to this requirement.</p>
