<p>If I do work over the summer, I would probably be able to make 2-3k. How will this affect my financial aid package for next year?</p>
<p>I don't want to work and realize the amount decrease in the financial aid package would be over the amount that I earned.</p>
<p>my daughter is expected to earn $3,000 a summer and contribute that to the EFC. By not earning any money- the EFC would not be lowered.
Your school may be different of course- but most schools expect students to contribute to the cost of their own education</p>
