This makes me sick to my stomach, A study done by UC Berkeley: We suspect that there is substantial gaming going on by families with high social capital to not only get their children into low-cost and high-prestige public universities, but to also qualify for low-income grants and loans. There are no good studies on this possible phenomenon, only anecdotal evidence of families, poor, rich, and middle class, seeking to shift liquid assets to gain maximum access to subsidized financial aid resources. This may have a marginal influence on the number of Pell Grant students at UC, for example; but we don’t know for sure. Institutions also create financial aid offices that are skilled at matching low-income students to subsidized and non-institutionally-derived financial aid
