<p>This doesn’t sound like a FAFSA issue, as much as an issue with that particular college. Unless you are applying from out-of-state, that does indeed sound high, assuming that this is for one year and does not include room and board. In-state tuition where I live (Washington State) is slightly over $3K/yr and I think that is typical for most states. I’d check that email carefully to make sure that it is an annual amount and that it is for in-state tuition.</p>
<p>There should also be a note somewhere stating how much aid you can receive, based on your FAFSA info. </p>
