Let's make a list of colleges with good need-based financial aid without needing the non-custodial parent.
The idea is to have a convenient reference to suggest to students who have divorced parents, where the non-custodial parent is either uncooperative, or has significant income and/or assets but will not pay. Note that colleges should be listed based on need-based financial aid, not merit scholarships (for which there are plenty of lists around here), although aid given using both need and merit can be listed (but with appropriate description).
State universities can be included here, but please specify whether that is for state residents only.
It would be best to include a pointer to the appropriate financial aid page.
As always, students should use the college's net price calculator to see how good the college's financial aid is likely to be for their own situations.
