Ok…I’m going to apologize here. I think I have Foopy comfused with another green card holder. That other student has a family business.
Foopy…back to you.
Your $8000 FAFSA EFC will not give you any grant aid from the federal government. Dartmouth will expect you to pay room, board, fees, personal expenses, and your student contribution. Free tuition is on,y part of the cost of attending the school.
And I still say…$8000 seems like a very low EFC for a $75,000 income.
