Spelman's financial aid package is 100% loans

If you, the parent, are not a resident of California, expect your kid to be paying the full cost of attendance for all,four years with loans at UCLA…just like what you are saying is the case with this college.

I don’t know what you are reading…but your kid will have to demonstrate that she has been TOTALLY self supporting, including her OOS CA tuition costs to even get a whimper off consideration for instate status after the first year. In other words…her income would need to exceed $50,000 a year…or so. She would not be able to get any support from you…at all. Not a dime. How would she earn that much money while attending college? How would she earn that much anyway? She would be a HS graduate…and would be lucky to,get any full time job…probably not a $50,000 a year paying one.

I think you are interpreting the CA residency requirements for instate tuition purposes the way you want them to be…not what they actually ARE.

@“aunt bea” can you please discuss the financial form folks need to complete in CA to show they have been self supporting?
