Here's the crock. The gov't looks at the parents income to determine grants and loans for the student. Why? The parents are no longer required to support that adult, so why look at their income?

They did that 30 years ago when I went to school. I didn't qualify for the BEOG (replaced I believe by the Pell Grant) because my parents owned their home. It didn't matter that I had 6 younger brothers and sisters living at home.

The trick is to have them move into an apartment and become self supporting, if you want them to really be considered on their own.

The otherwise execrable movie Soul Man had a quote on this subject. "She told me they have support for people whose parents are poor, but not for those whose parents are #$$holes."
