<p>The opinions stating that the parent owes nothing to a student 18 years or older so there is no infairness involved are fine, except:</p>
<p>Said student will not qualify for FA at a Profile school if the non-paying parent has means.</p>
<p>Had the decision not to pay been spelled out prior to matriculation, said student could have chosen another course, one that was more readily supported on the money available.</p>
<p>Transferring to another institution usually results in the loss of scholarship money.</p>
<p>So much of what is “unfair” is that the guy has pulled the rug when he did, financially stranding his kid.</p>
