<p>You need to talk to the financial aid office, explain your situation, and ask them how to proceed. Unless there's some major piece that's missing here, you should be an excellent candidate for the maximum level of financial aid. Since individual schools can calculate their EFC differently than the standard FAFSA approach, you need to get the information from the aid office. While there is a general "minimum" EFC assumption based on summer earnings, that may or may not apply here. Good luck, and sorry about your loss.</p>
<p>Thank you I appreciate it...</p>
