I am in state - I have lived within 20 miles of the U my entire life... The college I applied to is CLA. My EFC on the FAFSA was about $3,500, but the U bumped it up to $3,900 for their calculations or something.

The breakdown of scholarships was: $5,000 from the Presidential scholarship, $5,000 from the Bentson Family scholarship, $6,500 from the Minnesota Gold scholarship, $4,000 from a CLA Honors scholarship, $1,081 from the Federal Pell Grant, and $4,598 from a Minnesota State Grant. I also got a freshman study abroad scholarship for $1,000.

So yeah... I dunno. They would be paying me ~$7,000 a year to attend. This happened to someone else from my school last year I think. They still give you need based aid on top of any merit scholarships.
