<p>I’m not sure what you mean by this. Do you LIVE in NJ? Does your family own a HOME in NJ? If so, you have two residences…one in the UK and one in NJ and that WILL affect your need based aid.</p>
<p>If your family does NOT own a home in NJ, you very well might NOT be considered an instate resident if you live in the UK…and have not resided in NJ for the year prior to your matriculation in college. Oh…and it doesn’t matter if you are registered to vote there or hold a NJ drivers license.</p>
<p>We know some expatriates who OWN a home in one of the states and the whole family has driver’s licenses in that state. They do NOT have instate status there because they LIVE in another country…not in that state.</p>
<p>I do not know what NJ’s policies are regarding this…but in most states, if you are not LIVING in that state for the year prior to enrolling in college, you are NOT considered a resident of that state. I’m not sure how you think you are a resident of NJ. Please explain.</p>
