For independent students, not by itself; the other requirements still have to be met. For parents of dependent students, SC has to be the primary state of residence. Living in a residence owned by parents does not, in and of itself, constitute a permanent residence; as an independent person, student must either be listed as an owner on the deed and responsible for ½ the mortgage or a legal tenant with an official lease paying a reasonable, market price for rent. Student must be responsible for utilities.
