EFC of Zero

<p>So, you’re a WI resident? I had an EFC of 0 and I attend UW-Madison. They put me in a program where they promised to meet 100% of my need for four years, and it’s mostly grants. In fact, this year I turned down the small loan I got and just through grants I have so much more money than I need. It’s awesome. I’m sure you’d get the same thing.</p>

<p>Of course, you could probably get into Harvard or whatever, so that’s cool, but if you really like Madison you probably can get paid to go there, basically.</p>

<p>Just want to add that U W Madison also has a fastrack program for low-income etc…although it does carry some loans they are minimal…$1,500 first year, $3,200 2nd year and $3,500 after that. With your definate possability for scholarships, those could be wiped away as well.</p>
