FLORIDA STATE RESIDENCY CONDITIONS
The Florida Legislature has established student aid programs for Florida residents who attend institutions in the state of
Florida. For the purpose of determining eligibility for state nancial assistance and tuition subsidy programs, a Florida “resident
for tuition purposes” is a person who has, or a dependent whose parent or legal guardian has, established and maintained legal
residence in Florida for at least 12 months. Residence in Florida must be for the purpose of establishing a permanent home
rather than for the purpose of maintaining a residence incident to enrollment at an institution of higher education. Students
who are less than 24 years of age or who depend on out-of-state parents for support are presumed to be legal residents of the
same state as their parents.
