While technically that's true; it's also very true that a parents EFC number greatly affects how much school based financial aid you'll be offered. So save and scrimp and do without and put aside wants and needs to provide money to a college savings plan...and be penalized for it. Spend everything and live beyond your means and be rewarded with lowered or no out of pocket tuition costs. I have one, finishing up her freshman year in a public state supported university using my post 9/11 GI Bill, and one that's about to graduate HS and go to a private university.
