Do You Qualify for Florida Residency?

A Florida resident for Florida financial assistance is a person (if under 24, the parent or legal guardian) who has established and maintained legal

residence in Florida for at least twelve (12) months immediately preceding the first day of classes of the academic term for which the student enrolls.

Residence during the 12 month qualifying period must be for the purpose of maintaining a bona fide domicile rather than maintaining a temporary
