I know it's a moot point, but it is possible to declare yourself independent from your parents in order to receive more financial aid. I know people who have done so.

She started out at the Fashion Institute (FIT) in NYC, graduated from there and decided she wanted to change careers and pursue teaching. The way you rack up that kind of money is when you fall into a government hole whereby you are still considered independent even though your parents are up to their eyeballs in their own debt and you support yourself and thereby get next to know financial aid!!!!
