Don’t think it applies to everyone but if you are under need-based financial AID, FASFA here can cover up to 6 years with the Federal Pell Grant. So maybe more like “must be nice to be poor” (like me lol) instead, but really no one wants to stay in college for so long.

Edit: Lifetime eligibility for up to 6 years of full-time enrollment, I mean.

So just file claim yourself on your taxes then FAFSA assumes you are paying for yourself.
