<p>I am still a senior in HS, I graduate this May. So I’m still applying for tons of scholarships. But my paying for the other half of my college tuition was only IF I wouldn’t be claimed as a dependent. If I’m not a dependent I won’t get my dad’s tuition break. Let me recap: my moving out was all going to be under the assumption that my college was going to be completely paid for already, and I would only be worrying about my living expenses.</p>
