Fafsa EFC

Well…if you can’t afford that $70,000 acceptance…than that acceptance gets jettisoned.

@thumper1 yes, he understands that. Our fault for not knowing about the NPC. When we looked on Naviance and put in our salary it said around $36,000.

Right…because need based aid is calculated using income AND assets. Not just income.

Looking at some other threads…he seems to have some less costly schools on his application list.

Did he apply to Alabama before Dec 1,and did he get accepted with his aid package?

Also…as an FYI…schools that use the Profile…the FAFSA EFC really doesn’t matter at all in terms of institutional need based aid.

@thumper1 . Yes, he received a nice package from Alabama & Miami -Ohio. University of Illinois does not give merit but is our state school so is definitely reasonable.

Thank you for helping me understand all of this. I’ll be much more educated when my D goes through this process.

Sounds like there are some affordable and good options!

Yes!
