<p>My parents are residents of Oregon and i'm a resident of California. How can i get aid? will including my parents info into FAFSA affect my in-state status?</p>
<p>How is your residency established? Did you attend a California high school? Who do you live with?</p>
<p>I'm self supported</p>
<p>Self-supported doesn't establish residency. Do you live in California? For how long?</p>
<p>It is tricky to establish residency in California when your parents are not CA residents, but I believe it can be done -- check their website.</p>
<p>FAFSA is a different beast than residency and your parents information will have to be included until you meet one of the FAFSA determinants for independence (self-supporting is not one of them).</p>
<p>How old are you? How long have you lived in California? Are you registered to vote in California? Do you have a California driver's license?</p>
<p>How long have you been self supporting, and perhaps you could elaborate. Do you live in CA and have a full time job? Do you have a lease on an apartment for which you pay all the bills, or do you own (in your name) property? How did you establish residency in CA?</p>
