<p>I'm going to be filling out my FAFSA for grad school pretty quickly here and I wanted to check a few things: </p>
<p>I can still qualify for the simplified EFC right? I make under 50k and I received food stamps during this year. August 2011-12 I think. I know I don't qualify for auto 0 EFC because I'm independent without dependents. </p>
<p>Work study money is still not counted in the EFC formula, yes? </p>
<p>I know that there is no Pell or anything for grad schools but a lot of the programs I'm applying to do have at least some school need-based aid and I'd like to get an idea of what my EFC is going to be. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
