Public colleges and universities, need blind or need aware?

Illinois still requires FAFSA for HS graduation. There is, and always has been, a one page waiver available to waive that graduation requirement. I expect it is many affluent families filing waivers. Students not planning to attend college also make use of the waiver.

AFAIK all the states that require FAFSA for HS graduation provide a waiver form.
