As far as Financial Aid is concerned, the child will be able to get aid after the age of 14 as long as they are a high school graduate. My friend's child got aid at the age 14 because they graduated already. Grants, scholarships and loans if need be. Also parents information goes on the FAFSA until the person is 24yrs old. The only way a parents income and assets are not involved is if the student is married, or has their own dependent, or they can prove they are self supporting and independent.
I have considered doing the same thing with my youngest child. She just wants different things than my other children have wanted. I think testing is the way to go. But I would not discount sending the student to a local CC to get some class time in.
