I'd like to see the getting into/paying for college trade press cover the modern state of the "surrender custody of your child so they can declare financial independence and qualify for a full tuition waiver based on their near-zero income" strategy (e.g. https://www.propublica.org/article/university-of-illinois-financial-aid-fafsa-parents-guardianship-children-students https://www.propublica.org/article/university-of-illinois-fi...). Is this strategy still viable? I couldn't find any coverage of it with a quick Web search ([site:intelligent.com independent student]). Maybe it's so good that the college-consultant industry is hoping it'll stay under the radar for a few more years?
