<p>I have a twin brother and we are both entering college this fall semester, but did not get a lot of financial aid.
I was wondering if there is some type of grant or something that would apply to me?</p>
<p>Grants just for twins? Maybe there are some scholarships out there, but there aren’t federal grants if that’s what you’re asking.</p>
<p>What are your EFCs?</p>
<p>My EFC is $33,000
I’m just wondering if there’s any extra type of financial aid for twins because my brother and I will both have to take out big loans if there isn’t.</p>
<p>Each twin’s EFC is $33k? If so, that means that your family’s “total EFC” is about $66k. That means that your parents have a high income and/or assets.</p>
<p>When you began the app process, did your parents tell you how much they’d spend on each twin? How much will they spend on each child?</p>
<p>Are you instate for UM-CP? Will your twin be attending the same school?</p>
<p>Big loans? Will your parents co-sign them? If not, you’re not going to be able to take out big loans.</p>
<p>Did you apply to any financial safeties?</p>
<p>BTW…FA is based on need, and it doesn’t sound like you have need unless UM is OOS for you.</p>
<p>There are some schools that will discount or give additional grantaid when siblings attends the same school. Did you have any of these schools on your list?</p>
