PLEASE HELP ME WITH FAFSA

Question

Ok I applied for Fafsa but my EFC says 00002.

What does that mean?

Also I checked work study and pell grant.. How do I know if I have work study? and with work study, Is is like a real job were they give me a check or does all the money i earn go to my tuition?

Answer 1

Well, your EFC is how much you and your family will have to contribute and in your case, it is basically nothing. You need to check with your school and see your award package to know if you have work study. Work study is just like any other job. YOU get the check and spend it yourself, NOT the school.
