If you have a valid EFC of less than 4111 then you could be receiving a Pell Grant (anywhere from $4310 for a 0EFC to $400 for a 4110EFC based on full time enrollment). For example – if you have a 0EFC and the tuition/fees portion of your COA is $2000 for the year, then you would receive $2310 for the year ($1155 per semester if you go full time both semesters).

You should talk to a financial aid officer at your school for more information/guidance. Good luck!

I simply gave up my 2 BR apt so I didnt have to work during college. so now me and my son are headed to my dad’s. I just could see myself taking out a 10-12k loan each year for rent (735 apt in chicago). by the time i graduate I’d be paying almost 30k on loans….I’ll pass on that one thank you.
