Residency

Paying for College

<p>Last year I moved from Texas to Alabama. My father is still currently living in Texas. I want to go to Texas A&M, so I was wondering if it was possible claim residency in Texas with my father. </p>

<p>It would seem that your father would have to claim you as a dependent on his taxes.</p>

<p>Read the regulations in the link above then contact the school. Are you going to be a new freshman or are you a transfer, it could be different. In Erin’ Dad’s link there is a link to an application you will likely have to fill out so read through those questions too.</p>

<p>And make sure you meet any deadlines in the process.</p>

<p>The student would have to live in Texas for his senior year of high school AND be dependent on his father.
The latter by itself is insufficient to claim residency.</p>

<p>do you have the stats for a scholarship to TAMU?</p>

OP could join the Corp of Cadets. They presumably give students $1,000 for the residency requirement.</p>
