Question

I read the item below but cannot find if there is a requirement for the number of hours you need to take.


Full-Time Student   

To qualify as a student, you must do 1 of the following during some part of each of 5 calendar months during the calendar year (not necessarily consecutive):

Be enrolled as a full-time student at a school that has a regular teaching staff, course of study, and regularly enrolled body of students in attendance 
Take a full-time, on-farm training course given by a school or a state, county, or local government agency

? · Accepted Answer

Your school should be able to help you out for that purpose.
Full-time student.   Solely for purposes of determining whether a scholarship is considered support, you were a full-time student for 2012 if during any part of any 5 calendar months during the year you were enrolled as a full-time student at an eligible educational institution (defined earlier), or took a full-time, on-farm training course given by such an institution or by a state, county, or local government agency.
