<p>Plum: You state that: “However, student aid is usually provided to all citizens and earned by those students typically who’s parents income may not be taxable due to low income or working out off US for making a living. You may classify me as one of them.” </p>
<p>I don’t know where you’ve been getting your misinformation, but this is not true. She may be a citizen and may be “low income”. She can file a FAFSA, but that doesn’t mean the school that receives the FAFSA information will give (PROVIDE) her a full ride. </p>
<p>All US citizens can APPLY for aid, but getting it is not guaranteed. I’m a resident US citizen, as was my father and his father and his father. I’ve paid taxes for 30+ years. My children applied for California aid, but didn’t get it. </p>
<p>We are residents of California and the state is really not giving any aid to OOS applicants. Since your daughter is not a current resident of California, she is not considered for in-state fees. She can get accepted to our UC’s and Cal State’s, if her stats are high, but you’re going to be paying full tuition and room + board plus travel expenses.</p>
