<p>I did my financial aid and I got an EFC of 00000. I have no money what so ever for college. How much do you think UCF will give me? Will I have money left over for personal expenses? I need advice.</p>
<p>You’ll likely get a full Pell Grant, Florida Student Assistance Grant (FSAG) [Providing that you’re full-time, UCF Grant, and possibly loans. You might have some money left over, but don’t know. Do you have money for living expenses ?</p>
<p>what do you mean money for living expenses? like to pay for housing? No. The money I will have is for food to buy for the dorm, hygiene material, sheets, etc.</p>
<p>I believe the most you can get from the Pell Grant is $5,550 for the year. Here are some of the grants you might qualify for. I would double check with Financial Aid for more details:</p>
<p>Pell Grant
Florida Student Assistance Grant
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
UCF Scholars Award
UCF Grant
Academic Competitiveness Grant(ACG)
SMART Grant
First Generation Matching Grant Program
TEACH Grant Program</p>
<p>It’s tough to say but also consider if you have any academic scholarships. If you do then you definitely will have leftover money for food and some other personal expense. If you’re going with just aid alone then I cant really say for sure. As Frank said, the max value for the Pell Grant is $5,500 for the year. Depending where you live and the number of classes you take, your housing and tuition may total around $9,000- $11,000. That isn’t including books.</p>
<p>well I do qualify for the 75% Florida Bright Futures, so idk if that would help. I just really want to leave my hometown and my household, I want to go and live and study in UCF so bad.</p>
<p>I understand, I did the same thing because I wanted to leave home. You still have plenty of time to accept UCF though. Now that you got your EFC, it will only be a matter of time before UCF gets it and then sends you an awards letter that will tell you the scholarships, grants, and loans you qualify for. It doesn’t show Bright Futures so keep that in mind. As for the loans, it’s just gonna show what you qualify for, by default you won’t accept them unless you choose to. That’ll give you an idea of how much money you’ll get next year so you can plan accordingly.</p>
