Anyone have any thoughts?

This might depend upon the type of graduate program. It also might depend where you apply.

When one daughter was applying to DVM programs, we just figured that no financial aid was available. However, she had established residency and worked in a different state, and was considered in-state for the state that she had moved to (most DVM programs in the USA are at public universities).

When our other daughter was applying to PhD programs, as far as I know they never asked and we never told them anything about the parent’s finances. She is in a fully funded PhD program, so the school covers tuition and fees and health insurance, and pays her a stipend which is just enough to live on as long as you live frugally.
