It is true that there's a gap in providing aid to those above the very bottom of the economic ladder. In my personal experience, the FAFSA and such do a pretty good job of giving the means for those at the bottom, but the support dries up before you get to those who can carry the burden on your own.
You can still file as an independent at age 24 under the FAFSA and greatly improve the aid you get, but that's obviously far from ideal.
