How do I apply after a gap year

<p>You are dependent until you are 24, have dependents of your own (married or a child), or a veteran.</p>

<p>Custody has nothing to do with determination of FA. If you look up the residency rules many states allow students to live with “the other” parent for residency.

I can’t be a US citizen living and studying there but be stateless for 4 years, right?

Yes you can. You can be a non-resident forever. Don’t try to pull a fast one by starting CC before you have the residency time period covered. You’ll only be hurting yourself.</p>

<p>You’ll need to carefully review the requirements for residency in GA. Here is the first item for UGA:

Students must first prove that they have established a primary domicile or permanent Georgia home at least twelve consecutive months immediately preceding the beginning of classes for the term to be considered for residency. Typically, the residency status of a dependent student is tied to the status of the parent(s), or in the case of divorce, the tax-dependent or majority support parent, so the parent(s) must show proof of domicile.
