Just loans from FAFSA?

Paying for College
1

<p>My EFC is 06540 and according to the UC Irvine financial aid office, I'm only going to receive 13k in grants, leaving me and my mom with 15k to pay off. They have received my FAFSA and I'm left with federal loans. </p>

<p>Is there more to receive from the FAFSA? Or is the loans that I was offered (Federal Direct PLUS, Federal Direct Subsidized Loan to meet need, etc...) is all I'm getting from the FAFSA?</p>

<p>Gift Aid
Cal Grant A $11,124.00 Unconfirmed
UC Irvine Grant $1,793.00 Accepted
Total Gift Aid $12,917.00 </p>

<p>Loans
Federal Direct PLUS $3,400.00<br>
Federal Direct PLUS - Optional $6,540.00<br>
Federal Direct Subsidized Loan to meet need $3,500.00<br>
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan to meet need $2,000.00<br>
Total Loans $15,440.00 </p>

<p>Total Aid in My Aid Award $28,357.00</p>

<p>Your EFC is too high to qualify for federal grant money. And you have been awarded the max ($5500) Stafford loan for a freshman. So that is probably it for federal aid. </p>

<p>Federal aid is very limited. The pell grant maximum for 2010-2011 was $5550 and the cut of to receive any Pell was around EFC 5270 ish.</p>
