How does FAFSA work with scholarships?

Paying for College

<p>Does it depend on the school?</p>

<p>For example:</p>

<p>EFC: $20,000
(Parent's can really afford to help with $5,000 per year though)</p>

<p>Scholarships: $25,000 (at the School I got accepted to)
$2,500 (per year, another scholarship)
$1,000 (one year, another scholarship)
(hopefully more, I'll have applied to about 40 scholarships in all by June)
= $28,500</p>

<p>My school costs $52,000.
I searched this forum/college financial aid websites, but didn't get a decisive answer.
So, how does it work? How much would I have to take out in loans?</p>

<p>There is no way to know based on the info you gave.
$52K COA - $28.5K in scholarships = $23.5K Gap
Even if the school met 100% need that would mean they would add $3.5K leaving 20K to make up (and that could be in grants and/or loans).</p>

<p>Okay, nvm I have to stop worrying about this, it’s so unneccessary and out of my hands until next month. Just a brief moment of weakness lol. Disregard this post, fellow CC-ers!</p>
