<p>This child is a foster child, therefore the state of Calif will consider him/her Independent for FA purposes. </p>
<p>Therefore, you qualify for more aid than the child in the above post. </p>
<p>My sister is a director of a foster care agency in Calif, so if you need more info, just PM me.</p>
<p>BTW…you are to be commended to have made it to the point of going to a Cal State or UC. :)</p>
