<p>What is the yearly amount of financial aid awarded to students wanting to go to TCU?</p>
<p>I think you’re asking the wrong question. It doesn’t matter what the annual amount awarded is. That doesn’t provide any useful information. What you want to know is what is the likely amount they will give you. That is a estimation based upon your EFC, your position in the incoming class (how appealing you are to the school), and the school’s financial track record.</p>
<p>Are these familiar to you, or should I provide more detail?</p>
<p>Kevin…That isn’t the right question. Even knowing the average amount of FA is no help.</p>
<p>If you have a high EFC, then you’ll get little to nothing regardless of what the average is.</p>
<p>If you have a low EFC and your stats aren’t desirable and the school doesn’t meet need, then you may get a lousy FA package.</p>
<p>IF you have a modest EFC and your stats are very desirable, then a school may give you a big grant and meet need (or not).</p>
<p>Does TCU meet 100% of need with little or no loans? (I don’t think so, but I could be wrong.)</p>
<p>What is your EFC? If you don’t know, use this… [FinAid</a> | Calculators | Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and Financial Aid](<a href=“http://www.finaid.org/calculators/finaidestimate.phtml]FinAid”>http://www.finaid.org/calculators/finaidestimate.phtml) Then, once you find out that number, find out if your parents can afford their EFC. </p>
<p>Since TCU is a private school, you may also have to do the institutional methodology.</p>
<p>thnx for the replies and they helped alot</p>
