I recently applied for financial aid for school. I received an email back with a EFC = expected family contribution and it said 00.00 . As far as I know that means that I will not have to contribute anything for school..right? My only question is where do I go from here? [...]

Say it costs 0 per semester to attend a community college, that’s full-time tuition plus books, for a total of 00 per year. But according to the FAFSA you have an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) of 52 per year.
So when the costs are less than the EFC, how do you ever get [...]

This will be the 2nd time, will this harm my future coverage of financial aid? I waited too late and now i need to cancel my aid again. Who should i contact and how long will it take? I will be going to a community college spring semester instead and i need financial aid coverage [...]

I have to turn in a few documents then my financial aid should be available. My estimated family contribution is 0, therefore my schooling should be fully paid for, is that right ?
How much would you receive during the summer and if your efc is 0 ? Is it half of what it is during [...]

So confused about cal grants and other financial aide, please help me figure this out?

I’m attending a school that’s $6500 per quarter. So based on if I get the maximum yearly pell grant (which I should, my efc is $0), that leaves a quarterly balance of $5,163. So I’m also going to apply for Cal Grants. What I don’t know is, 1. How do I apply for a cal grant? 2. Is it too late in the year to apply for cal grants that would cover fall 2009? 3. Does everyone who applies for it get money? 4. How long does it take to come back? 5. How much does the cal grant award (are there any online calculators for this)?

So $5163 minus any Cal Grant funds = ???
Remaining balance, IF and only IF I *need* to, I’d take out a loan. *BUT* Is it better to tell the Fafsa people right off the bat that I’m interested in loans, to get a better rate & chances, or even workstudy? Or would that hamper my grant amount? Would an actual bank bank give me a school loan even though I don’t have any credit?
What other grants are available to someone transferring from a community college to a california private institution, without having to apply eons in advance(my quarter begins October 4th)? Is the college itself adding more to the aide package generally the exception or the rule?

Please help me figure this out! Thanks (=

Is Texas Grants Scholarship issued only to high school graduates?

I am a sophomore in college this year and eligible for financial aid.

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Alright, so here’s the deal.

I’m stuck in my life. And I’m really confused as to what should be my next step. I already have this path that I’ve paved, but for some reason…it just doesn’t feel like the right thing to do.

Let me give you a little info:

I am going to college next year as a “freshman”, but I have enough college credits that I’ve accumulated in high school to be considered a “junior” (67 credits). However, not even half of my credits are applicable to the degree programs there, so I’ve pretty much lost a year. I will have to take out at least $10,000 in loans each year to go there. It looks like a really nice school, and I really want to go. But, I’m just really unsure because I don’t want to be up to my ears in debt. I know that I can always apply for more scholarships in the next year, but I’m afraid that it will only replace the huge amount of financial aid I’m receiving from the school to go there (it’s a private university that costs 40,000 per year). My parents are unable to help pay for college, so I have to go it alone.

I just lost my job, and I have very little in savings. So my financial situation isn’t looking so great right now. My question is, do you think I should get a new temp job and sacrifice my sanity and go to the school next year that I adore, just to be 30,000 in debt?

My alternative is to take a break from school and work my butt off getting a serving job and applying for a bunch of scholarships. I would like to go to a school in Seattle, as I just feel drawn there for some reason. I would feel a lot more comfortable going to school with as little debt as possible with as many credits transferring as possible.

Does anyone know of some great ways to get money for school, or any great sources? My mom’s EFC is under 4,000, and we are maxed out on pell grants. I would like to get as many scholarships as possible, but will that only detract from my gift aid?

should I just abandon ship, or should I take a dive and go to a school that is lovely but will cost me thousands?

Lastly, what job what you recommend I take? I am a very friendly, outgoing person and I think serving would make me a lot of money. I don’t like working in offices, and I’d like to be my own boss if serving is not my thing. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD HELP!

p.s. I have my associates degree.
