<p>Scholarship would help you pay... but they won't give you any grants/loans/schoalarships if your EFC is close to the cost of UW.</p>
<p>interestin...i ll probably apply for some "outside" scholarships even though I'm pretty sure fin aid is gnna cover most of the stuff (hopefully).</p>

<p>So what happens if your parents have bad credit? Do they just convert parent loans to student loans?</p>
<p>I got my "award" today. a full $23,213 in LOANS! Woohoo! <em>thumbs down</em> I'm not going to UW. Goodbye everyone and nice talking to you on this board!</p>
<p>Are you out-of-state too ecner? Because my joke of an award is almost as bad as yours. I got $100 of some kind of "Federal Assistance" (which only works out to some $33/$34 each quarter - Fall, Winter, Spring and not Summer... completely worthless if you ask me), $3000 in Work Study, a couple thousand through my Pell Grant, and the rest in loans. That's absolutely RIDICULOUS. I looked closer and it seems like there are virtually no scholarships for people who aren't Washington residents. What the hell!? ****es me off.</p>
<p>Hey, at least you got work study. I got mine and it was just only two awards - a loan AND a loan. Yes, I'm from Alabama.</p>
<p>How much should I be expecting with an EFC of 01731?</p>
<p>you should be getting substantial aid, you should be getting state need grant and pell grant for sure.</p>
<p>Man this sucks.</p>
<p>I didn't get any FA from UW.</p>
<p>My parents are really worried and a little aggravated that they will be paying more for me than for my brother who goes to Dartmouth and his tuition and room is A LOT higher than UW.</p>
<p>Anything I can do?</p>
<p>My EFC was about $24,000. I just got my financial aid letter from the UW, and they offered me a loan and a loan, too. My Dad wants to call them up and appeal this (because he's rather stingy and all for me getting financial aid if I can), but I think he's delusional. He makes 6 figures, and if all these other people whose parents make so much less than mine are barely getting a thing, I doubt I will.
It sucks.</p>
<p>Yeah, 6 figures is a lot.</p>
<p>I figured they would give me some money since my brother is also in college.</p>
<p>fin aid doesnt come up with the numbers randomly...if you didnt get any aid then it's very likely that you're living off well...i must say it's good too be poor =P</p>
