Inheritance windfall/High assets - LOW income

I have not read all the intervening posts, but did notice the family home is a farm. You should really check whether that is even sheltered in FAFSA; seems Curmudgeon has some schools that viewed it as an asset rich business not a family home. Farms may have no income, but still have tons of assets.

If it were my one and only shot at a retirement funding, I would be tempted to suggest Bright Futures for UG and spend the money on grad school. I would not blow $200k on a private when it is the only windfall you are likely to ever receive.
