Many questions regarding finances in college

Omg, every time I refresh the page there are multiple responses. It’s hard to keep up so I’m sorry for the delay.

@thumper1 So on the VT application, or Common App I’m not sure which one, they provided spaces to input multiple addresses and the time period for each. I gave them a total of 3 in which 1) I lived with my mother (until 2012 or so), 2) I lived with my dad in VA (until August 2018), and 3) my current address in CA (present).

The ‘vacation’ note was my way of saying that I realize I now live in California, but because I’ve only resided here for 6 months or so, I jokingly stated that I hoped they would treat it LIKE a vacation. In other words, the hope is I have a case to be made in terms of what my residency should be.

@allyphoe I’m not entirely sure how it will be done. I believe the plan is to provide me a monthly “allowance”, if you will, that I then use to partially pay for college and the rest for daily expenses such as food. And this by no means is coming from a personal business he owns. Just from his own income.

It concerns me when you mark this as a “tax related scheme”. I’m not sure if you are implying that this would be illegal or if you believe we have false intentions. If you do, please state so because I’m very clueless when it comes to the financing process and I’d like to know if something like what my father intends on doing is not allowed.
