Is the 3000 EFC the EFC you got when you filed FAFSA? Is it different from last year? If the family financial situation has not changed then double check that you did not make some sort of error on FAFSA. Take into account that other things are taken into account when calculating the EFC - for instance any income or assets you have will impact the EFC and the number of students in college.

Though if you have a $14k gap on top of $9k in loans then the $2000 you have lost in aid is not your main problem. $23k in loans for a year is much to much. How did you pay the gap last year?
