I'm sorry you're confused about what I said. Of course, line 34 and 42 are nothing to do with college tuitions. However, if you read the context of each of those passages carefully, you would see one of my purposes for the post actually was that
I wanted to tell keney that a parent still can claim the student as his/her dependent even though the student has a scholarship. The person's real identity mentioned here has two parts: college student, and also a dependent of his/her parents.
