Hello everyone, I’m currently stressed out. I transfer to either CSULA or Sac State this fall, but how am I able to pay for CSU? My efc is 0, my mom makes less than $11,000 a year. I make less than that as well, but I can’t transfer jobs since I’m a caregiver for my sister. I’m going to dorm in the CSU, and I’m stressed out. How am I able to pay for college?
Did you run the Net Price Calculators for the Cal states? If your EFC is $0 then you would be eligible for a Federal Pell Grant, Cal Grant and a Federal student loan of $7500.00
Here is the Net Price calculator for CSULA. Plug in your income data and information to see what your costs will be.
expect full price dorms to be $11k-$12k- they may be cost prohibitive. Can you live with family near one of these campuses?
