My EFC is 0...but will our savings/checking affect the amount of the grant?

<p>We do have the Schedule C or what’s called the “Profit or Loss From Business” and have all the itemized expenses on Part II that are deducted from Part I Gross Income. We go to a tax person and bring all the bills, receipts, etc… to her then she does the taxes…and yes, she has her signature, social security number and contact information on the Preparer’s section of the forms. We have never filed our own taxes, we’re too scared to make a mistake and get accused for falsifying documents when we miss out on something. There are alot of different more forms attached to the 1040, Schedule C, D, etc… so I presume we’ll have to provide the entire thing when they ask for it for verification. </p>

<p>We’re both planning to do 3/4 time. My husband works from noon to 8pm, so I can take a morning class or some class that I can’t take online or he can do the same thing. Luckily, the school is just 15 minutes away from where we live in Southern Maryland. When I first went to college in the Philippines, I took 6-8 classes in one semester…it was very challenging, but I was single and had no kids and lived on campus. So 3-4 classes would be fairly manageable. Luckily, my kids are not too hard to take care of anymore. Our youngest is already 18 months old, so she sleeps long at night and naps long in the afternoon. :slight_smile: </p>

<p>I understand that the total amount of grant will be adjusted depending on our enrollment status. Any amount towards the tuition will absolutely be a HUGE help esp. if we do take a loan out for any excess amount that’s not covered.</p>
