<p>If my EFC is $0, what is the maximum aid i can receive? (in terms of both fed and state grants).</p>
<p>Your maximum aid would be the cost of attending the university. This will include loans, scholarships, grants if you filed your FAFSA correctly.</p>
<p>Your financial need is determined by your cost of attendance to a university minus the EFC. If your EFC is nada, well then financial aid should cover your entire cost.</p>
<p>Just make sure you get that FAFSA in before deadlines.</p>
<p>With the UC's, if you're Californian resident and U.S. legal resident/citizen, then you can get a Cal Grant as well.</p>
