Does EFC include your living expenses? Please help :D

<p>Because my family can't afford the cost of tuition, I'm applying for full tuition scholarships but I am able to pay the living expenses (room, board, fees) of about $10000 a year. What do I put in my expected family contribution? Do I put 10000, 0 or somewhere at about $500s? Thank you :)))))))))</p>

<p>Where are you seeing that question?</p>

<p>Are you filling out a scholarship application?</p>

<p>If so, is the scholarship “need based” as well as merit based? (some merit scholarships also want you to submit FAFSA.)</p>

<p>Are you filling out an application to a college?</p>

<p>If you need 'full-tuition" scholarships, you probably need to apply for scholarships that are only based on merit (your stats)</p>

<p>What is your family’s income? </p>

<p>Where is that $10k a year coming from? Your parents?</p>

<p>its in the international student scholarship application (ISFA) and the CSS profile,
i think its for need base scholarship (the school offers full-tuition scholarship for selected students with good academics AND has a need) </p>

<p>My dad is the only one working and has an annual income of abt $35000 and i have a disabled brother so we have alot of expenses
that 10K is also coming from my parents
and the scholarship is from the college</p>

<p>thank you so much</p>
