Just as for financial aid a student under 24 years is determined to be dependent unless they are honorably discharged from military, have a dependent , are married or have been a ward of the state at age 18, states determine that a student is dependent and a resident of the state he and his parents reside and pay taxes in.
State residents pay a hella lot of taxes and one of the benefits is instate tuition. If you are independent and move to a state for one year before you register for classes you can be judged to be a resident of that state. Other than that, it is pretty hard to be judged a resident if you have not graduated from high school in the state
