Clearly you know all about it, since you're drawing from such a broad base of information.
I'm white, and qualified for grants that covered half my tuition. I started college at age 16, so my mother's finances were certainly taken into account. I don't consider my case to be representative of all white people, but I don't consider your girlfriend's case to be representative either.
