As long as you provide over half of her support, yes, you can claim your daughter as a dependent.
After she turns 19, you can continue to claim her through age 24 if she's a full-time student.
That is NOT correct. There is no requirement that a parent pays ANY support at all for a 18 year old (or a full-time student *under* age 24 - not "through" age 24). The requirement is that the *child* does not pay more than half of their *own* support - it does not matter who else pays it. The parent support requirement was changed about 15 years ago.
