Fafsa EFC question?

Question

i got a 2478 is this good?

Answer 1

All that number is telling you is how much the government thinks your family should contribute.  That is not a super high number so my guess is that you will get some grants.  Did it tell you if you qualified for a pell grant.  My EFC was much higher and still got some subsidized loans so you should be good.  The number is never a bad or good thing so don't worry about it.  Your schools will send you packages real soon that will explain the details.

Answer 2

Our EFC was about the same, and for enrolling half-time in college (6 credit hours), we received about $350 in pell grant per semester.  We were offered other forms of financial aid, including work-study and loans, but turned them down.  

See if the financial aid office at your school offers scholarships -  we applied, and also received an addition $250.  It doesn't seem like much at all, but every little bit helps.
