Admissions Advice

I'm a California resident and I sent my son to school in Ghana, Africa. He is an American citizen.
Answered

Will he qualify as a California resident regarding admission, scholarship and grants at UCLA and the other UC campuses? Please let me hear from you.

Thanks

If he's studying in Ghana on a Visa, he's not technically a resident there. I don't think you'd have a problem if you said he was a California resident on the application, but you might want to call the financial aid office at one of the UCs to check!
