This is question 72 on the paper FAFSA.

Select your parents' current state or country of legal residence. Select Foreign Country if your parents' legal residence is in a foreign country.

Residency (domicile) is your parents' true, fixed, and permanent home. If your parents are residing in a state for the sole purpose of attending a school, do not count that state as their legal residence. If your parents are separated or divorced, use the state or country of legal residence for the parent whose information is reported on this application.

Each state determines legal residency differently. You should contact the school's financial aid office for assistance with state legal residence qualifications.
