<p>My daughter is applying for an outside scholarship-- for example, Congressional Hispanic Caucus-- that requests EFC and the entire FAFSA report. The scholarship is based in part on need. If our EFC is around $30K (not that we can really afford that but FAFSA thinks we can!) is it even worth applying? Any help is much appreciated as she has applied for so many of these scholarships and is getting burned out!
Thanks!</p>
<p>You only have financial need if your daughter will be attending a college with a bigger price tag than $30,000.</p>
<p>OK great! Thanks so much for your help with this! Since the scholarship app doesn’t ask how much tuition will be I will tell her to try to work something in her essay if possible!!</p>
