Should I apply for financial aid?

I was wondering how intensive the application process for financial aid is. My family is rather well off, but not absurdly rich, and I wanted to know what the possible benefits are in applying for financial aid when it appears I most likely won’t receive any (Using various EFC calculators I’ve always had $0 in financial aid, but to varying extents.).

Other than the obvious possibility of receiving financial aid, are there any doors opened or particular situations that occur when applying for finncial aid?

Thanks in advance.
