is a 282 score good?
I assume you mean that your have an EFC of 282. This means that you will be eligible for a Pell grant, which I am sure will be helpful for you. What you need to do is input your FAFSA info into the NPC’s on the websites of the colleges you are interested in attending. The key is not the EFC - it’s whether or not you can afford the price of the college after all the aid they are able to award to you.
Do you mean your efc using fafsa federal methodology is $282?
It’s not good because u less you have killer stats many colleges that don’t meet need will be too expensive including in state public universities.
What it means however depends on Here you live.
So, details are needed!
You do not “score” 282". What are you trying to ask?
