I agree with ECG...you obviously haven't conducted any research on this issue. There is aid available out there for middle-class families. Much the same as there is aid available to low-income families.
I am a single parent who has struggled to make ends meet for the past four years while working my way through college, at the tender age of 33. What you propose regarding your "accreditation" would ultimately cut out people like myself who rely on that financial aid to make ends meet while making a better future for the children that we have.
I would suggest that you do more research regarding funding that actually IS available to you and your family for the education of your children. Financial aid offices have the power to override FASFA numbers if the parent appeals the decision. It's not that difficult and you shouldn't have to drain your life savings to send your kids through school.
Simply put, do your homework. And if draining your life savings is that important of an issue to you, they also offer loans. Look into them. Student loans have lower interest rates than signature loans do. If you are concerned about your child having high debts when they leave college, make payments on the loans while they are in college to keep the interest down on them.
There are a lot of solutions to the situation you are in. Complaining about it isn't one of them! Search for the answers and you shall find them.

Hi to the comment poster above, and a little reply from me.
If you had conducted any research on this, you would have discovered several recent articles on how lower-income families are NOT getting as financial aid as much as higher-income families, particularly at the top universities. Check out this article from the New York times:

After raising my children without and government assistance, working and paying taxes in the State of New Jerse, my savings are nearly all gone. As a middle income family, we will not be able to support any assistance toward the advancing of education for lower income families. Traditionally, lower income families have always gained government funding in addition to medical benefits, that come from the tax payers of the middle class. We cannot support these grants. Raising the standards for students to achieve additional funding from the government would be the most realistic and ultimately beneficial amendment for the future of our county. Right now my future is in college and one will be entering college in four years. We are struggling through the costs and upcoming costs. These new standards must be raised soon, and therefore the best students will gain accrediatiaion for their efforts not families that are not producing income.
