Thank you for your reply.

I somehow was thinking half the year and not the entire year.  She did not earn half of her support for the entire year. 

Fast forward, for 2024 she will be on her own the entire year and have to support herself.  She still will not have a lot of earned income, but more than 2023. She will live in the dorm for the entire calendar year, will have student loans, scholarships and grants. Will she be eligible for the AOC?  It is the "earned" that makes me question this as the loans, scholarships and grants are subsidies. 

Thank you.
