No.

 

The term full-time student only applies to college students who have attended college for five or more months or part-months.

    There is no tax benefit to claim for your child, under 19,  being a full time student. 

    Being a full time student simply allows the parents to claim a child, age 19-23, to be claimed under the "qualifying child" dependent rules.
