<p>dinero, I’m not sure what you mean by “based on the worksheet his contribution would be enough to pay for the first year of school”. Does this mean that your dad has given you a total budget of what he is willing to pay for all four years? Or does it mean that you’ve run a FAFSA estimator of your Expected Family Contribution (EFC), and the number you’re getting from that matches what your father’s budget is? Keep in mind that the EFC is for each year, not for all four years. The same for any Net Price Calculators that you run for each school.</p>
