<p>Im in a community college in Florida, my tuition is only 1700 per semester so all i get is the maximum pell grant of 5500$</p>
<p>What's the maximum federal aid I will receive when I transfer to a four year college, including Stafford Loans, Perkins loans and Florida Bright futures. My efc is 0 so I need to know how much money I will get so I know where to apply.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Stafford loan limits for dependent students are $5500 for freshmen, $6500 for sophomores, and $7500 for juniors/seniors. Perkins loans are campus based aid so there’s no way to tell what you’ll be offered. You should be able to determine your BF award by visiting their website.</p>
<p>Which level of BF do you qualify for? Full? Partial? </p>
<p>You’ll get your BF (depending on level)
You’ll get 5550 Pell (as long as parent income doesn’t rise)
You’ll get 7500 student loan (if you have junior standing when you transfer)
You might get a Perkins loan of a small amount </p>
<p>Look at the BF website to determine how much you’d get.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that having a 0 EFC doesn’t mean that you’ll have your need met. Most schools do not meet need. </p>
<p>You may find that you’ll have enough to go away to a florida public, or not. </p>
<p>You should probably work during the summer and part-time during the school year to earn some money to put towards college. </p>
<p>Submit your completed FAFSA as soon as you can.</p>
<p>If you have good grades and scores you’ll want to focus on schools that meet 100% of need. Search this site for a list.</p>
<p>Between BF, Pell, and Staffords you will probably get enough to pay for your living expenses at any FL public university.</p>

<p>This is a transfer student. There aren’t many schools that meet 100% need for transfer students. Some do…like Cornell. </p>
<p>Unless this is a top, top student, his best bet may be his instate public where he can use BF. Hopefully, he has the stats to get the full BF.</p>

<p>Very possible…but the student still needs to have a summer job to help with personal expenses, dorm stuff, and books. School aid doesn’t get dispersed until after school starts, so funds are often needed a few weeks before.</p>
