People with 0 efc, how much aid have you gotten?

<p>Just curious, filled out the fafsa recently and my efc was 0.</p>

<p>Can you guys list your FA packages (separate loans if you can please), thanks ^_^</p>

<p>I got a $1000 Trustee Scholarship for Steinhardt ($500 per semester)</p>

<p>Bump, any others</p>

<p>My EFC isn’t 0, but it’s really low (about 300). I got a 15k/year Gallatin Scholarship and enough in loans and work study to cover the rest of tuition. Hope that helps.</p>

<p>Wait I am confused. Financial aid and scholarships are supposed to be separate. Are you saying that you received ONLY these scholarships, and no financial aid $$?? According to the collegeboard, estimates are that NYU covers around 71% of aid. Giving a student only a 1000 or 150000 scholarship and the rest in loans is not anywhere near that.</p>

<p>Scholarships, grants, loans and work study IS financial aid. When you receive your financial aid award letter, ther is a mix of everything to help cover your Cost of Attendance.
Any scholarships or grants the school gives you is still considered aid.</p>

<p>I am very confused by this. So now I understand that is all included, but how much on average is actually a loan? Besides the scholarships and grants, you need to pay back the rest so what can I expect if accepted?</p>
