<p>my EFC was 0*** with a star the school (columbus state university) probably never heard of it asked for a dependent verification work sheet, and my mother and I tax return so I'm guessing i qualify for pell grant my tuition a semester is around 2,101. The cost of my dorm and meal plan is about 7,000 a year. I was considering getting the teach grant since my major is education... is there enough opportunities through financial aid to cover all this.. like federal loans through the school wise.</p>
<p>A 0 EFC qualifies you for a full Pell grant of $5,350 and probably a full state grant if you’re staying in your home state. You might also be awarded an ACG of $750 and SEOG money. Work study and Stafford loans of $5500 should also be offered. So, adding those together or with a Teach grant, you should be fine. Why don’t you have your award letter yet?</p>
<p>Because the school was waiting on my ACT scores and they said they can’t process financial aid without a full acceptance to the university.</p>
