How much money did you all get for your fafsa and what was your EFC?

Question

I have an EFC of 0 and was just wondering what the average amount awarded was. HELP ME OUT! getting anxious......

Answer 1

As an undergrad, my EFC was zero for my last two years of college (junior/senior). I was awarded enough with Stafford Loans, Pell Grant and another grant from my state, to cover tuition, books, rent, food, car insurance and still have some left over.

Not saying I had enough to take a cruise through the Bahamas, but I definitely didn't have to live on Ramen constantly LOL.

Just make sure you get all your financial aid paperwork into your school's financial aid office ASAP. Grant money is generally doled out on a first-come, first-served basis. The earlier you get your stuff in, the better your chance of getting the full grant amounts!

Keep checking your financial aid status on your school login to see if they have requested any additional documentation.

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

My efc was zero and i got enough back with the pell grant to cover all my classes and my books.
