Full Ride to a State School or Paying for an Ivy?

How is that any different than married parents who are unwilling to pay or fill out the forms? Or divorced couples where the primary custodian is unwilling to pay or fill out the forms? Why stigmatize divorced parents or NCPs (who, after litigation costs and paying for twice as many sets of household bills, are likely to be in much worse financial shape anyway)?

You just described exactly why kids of divorced parents tend to have a harder time with college financial aid, even at the “super generous with financial aid” schools.
