<p>*ash, do you think you would not be awarded financial aid? *</p>
<p>Am I the only one that hates those words…“awarded financial aid”. If it’s not free money, I don’t think it’s an awarding of anything. Getting awarded the right to take out loans is not an “award” in my mind.</p>
<p>Yes, the OP might have an EFC low enough for free money, but since it looks like the OP has a budget of some sort, I doubt the EFC is that low.</p>
<p>And…considering that many of the suggestions have been OOS publics, they don’t give FA to OOS students. OOS students going to OOS publics can only get minimal fed aid and fed loans and/or merit scholarships.</p>
