What am I missing here? I’m not complaining about the methodology, I really just want to understand it. Perhaps more folks are paying tuition out of “current earnings” vs “savings” than I realize.

Need-based financial aid is determined on a year-to-year basis; it’s not done by looking at a multi-year schedule as that would mean making a lot of assumptions, many of which would probably have to be recalibrated.
