Try the California Department of Education. Just give them a call and they will be able to help you. Chances are it will have to go through the State Department and the Department of Education the website for the U.S. Department of Education is www.ed.gov you might be able to get some information there. Good Luck!! =)

You can't apply for a student visa for someone else. He can't apply for himself either. His college will help him obtain the visa once he is accepted.

I wish that Jason G had a more respectful and hospitable attitude towards a fifteen-year-old girl who is a guest in his country, but I'm not his mother. Even if you go to public school, your cousin (not being legally resident in US--a student is not a "resident") would have to pay tuition fees. I would imagine that the cost would be prohibitive.

You cannot apply for a student visa for your cousin; only she can do that. And she can only qualify for a US student visa if she applies to and is accepted by a US college. Once she is accepted, she can then apply for the visa - if she can convince the consular officer that she does not intend to stay in the US. She is not legally allowed to attend public school in the US, except for a single year and even then must pay, as was already stated.
