Perhaps the "rules" have changed, but when I tried to get tuition assistance 
from VR in 1991-1995, I went through all the physicals, meetings, paperwork 
etc. for them to say they would pay for 80% of what was determined to be my 
financial need.  Well, my financial need was deemed $0 and 80% of $0 is $0, 
so I got no money.  My dad didn't make that much but my parents did own 
their house outright at the time and I think that is what put us over.  Now, 
I would still look into it anyway though, because I got to register early 
for classes because of my mobility issues and THAT saved my parents lots of 
money because I could get into all of the classes I needed since the 
freshmen hadn't had the chance to register yet.
