<p>I was wondering since my FAFSA forms have been submitted and updated as of yesterday. How long should I expect to wait till I hear back about how much money I should get from the government?
Also, if my EFC is 0 what kind of amount can I expect to receive and how large proportion would it be in grants?
Thanks a lot.</p>
<p>Depends on the school you've applied to. Check their website for find out when they'll send you a financial aid offer. Their offer(s) will include federal and state aid, if any, as well as institutional aid. It should include a Pell grant.</p>
<p>Most schools send out aid awards late March or early April. You can check College Board to see that the average loan to grant ratio is for any school.</p>
<p>Thanks, I'll check college board.</p>
