College Advice |
Question: Financial Aid and Grants?I just enrolled in a 2 year college and will start in Spring 08. I got my SAR and my EFC was 1806. I am an independent adult student with 3 children and my husband is also in college. I am enrolled part time (11 credits) and my tuition will be around $3500 a year. I will be attending Delaware Technical and Community college. Will I be able to get any grants or scholarships?26 months ago
Best AnswerYes should be able to. The EFC just says that for the year the gov expects you to contribute $1806, which includes books, misc expense, transportation, room and board, etc. Mine is usually about the much, but the amount of aid I get is always more than my tuition, so I never have to pay. |
