What happens after you get your EFC score on a FAFSA?

Question

I got a 0 for my EFC... what happens next?

Answer 1

The school that you're enrolled in will send you and award letter showing what you qualify for.  With an EFC of 0, you qualify for full Pell ($4731) unless you already have a Bachelor's Degree or are in default on a prior loan.  You may qualify for other grants depending on what is offered at the college you plan to attend.  You will also qualify for student loans.
