How can I transfer my dependency-override for financial aid to an international school?
I'm looking to transfer to UTS in Sydney, NSW, AUS from Georgia State University in Atlanta, Georgia.
At Georgia State I am considered an independent student by way of a dependency-override provided by my school (which I had to prove and apply for). Thus, with this override, even though I'm 21, I qualify for Federal Student loans as if I were 24 as well as the Pell Grant.
I'm wondering if I can receive Federal Student Aid for an international school and if I can transfer my dependency-override to UTS when I am admitted? The dependency-override is the only way I would possibly be able to afford school, because otherwise the Federal Government would still consider me dependent upon my parents (which hasn't been true for the last six years). Again, I have it currently at Georgia State, but I wonder how it would work internationally.
There seems to be a dearth of information relating to this scenario online.
Thanks for your advice!
