Eligibility for need-based FA as a dual citizen

Paying for College
1

<p>I have both South Korean and U.S. citizenship.</p>

<p>I am anyway going to give up the South Korean citizenship cuz they do not allow it (at least in my case), but I am currently holding it so should I say on the common app that I have the dual citizenship?</p>

<p>I wanted to put just U.S. citizenship (cuz I’ll give up South Korean citizenship soon) but if I do that on the common app I cant say how many years I have lived in the U.S., and I want colleges to know it.</p>

<p>and most importantly, if I say I have a dual citizenship, would it hurt my chance for getting need-based FA?</p>

<p>It should make no difference whatsoever to your eligibility for FA. You are a US citizen, that is what is important for most FA. Having dual citizenship will be irrelevant. (my kids hold dual citizenship - it neither helped nor hurt them for FA. Neither of them plans to relinquish their dual citizenship, it is not required nowadays unless, God forbid, we have a new McCarthyism type era).</p>
