My EFC (Expected Family Contribution) for '03 - '04 is 1295

Anyone got a better result?

 

[NewSc2]

uh.. no, but 2 years ago it was.. like.. $52k

last year it was about $26,000

this year i didn't bother sending a FAFSA in.

 

[Sachmho]

holy crap that's miniscule

 

[Reliant]

I think my EFC is around $2k.

 

[Anubis]

i dont get finnancial aid. i have to pay teh full 36K a year

 

[MillionaireNextDoor]

Before I wrote down the figures, I paid off all of my credit cards to reduce the amount in my bank accounts, and told them that I was not interested in any sort of loans.

What other legit tactics work?

 

[notfred]

My tuition is only like $1000/semester.

 

[Orsorum]

My EFC was something like 46k or something insane.

This year at a community college it was 0

I'm still actually living at home and got PAID almost $5000 AND got FREE tuition. I've spent about $1000 of that on school related stuff.

So that's $4000 to do what I want. A beautiful thing that is. I should just go to college for the rest of my life.

Hmm, with you and that statement, it made me think of:

Milhouse: "I can't believe I have to give her half my stuff"..

Wanted to make a witty comment out of it, but couldn't..so here I am pointing it out.

IMO thats whats wrong with financial aid, nothing against you or anyone that gets paid to go to school, but I and I am sure many others have rather large bills which that money could go towards/

 

[brtspears2]

Roughly 33k. No free money for me, darn.

Some people do.

EFC=18,635

 

[cchen]

$14,005

 

[Thegonagle]

EFC: $1143.

I'm over 25 and living by myself. I just received my award letter today.

$1772 in GRANTS! My tuition is only $1618! I can get another $3313 in subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford loans. And that's just for fall semester. Spring semester will yield similar numbers.

Anyone who thinks that they can't afford to go to school is . . . Something that I'm not, ha ha ha ha ha!
