Not if you are a donut hole family with reasonable assets. You get nada.

I knew someone would try to play the donut hole card. The median HHI in Northern Virginia is well under the $200K threshold for tuition-free aid.

Based on the net price calculators, even families making $250K are getting significant FA with, say, $500K in assets.

I don’t know where or how you applied for financial aid. We make about 250 and received nothing-2 kids in college. Maybe you’re counting the offer of a $5000 unsubsidized loan.

Depending on your assets, $250K HHI still qualifies for FA at most Ivy League schools, especially those that exclude home equity.
