I have an efc of 817 ??

Question

is this good? or what????.. idk what it means? willl i have enough to pay for my tuition at a community college & get my books for four classes???....

Answer 1

$817 is what they're saying you're financially able to pay. So whatever the cost of your school is minus $817 equals the amount of financial aid they're required to give you. You're probably going to have to take out private student loans to cover the rest but it shouldn't be too bad. From my point of view, it's a good EFC. (Mine's over $12,000 even though I'm an unemployed 18-year-old with no support from my parents).

Good luck!
