No, the FA office has no choice. They have to follow fed rules…and that means parents attending college do not count as students in school.

An extremely generous private college may decide to award some aid, but they will not be allowed to adjust EFC. So there could be no Pell award to your kids simply because parent is in college. And any WS or other fed aid would disappear.

Is this really an issue? Do these schools promise to “meet need”. At many schools, once you’re beyond a Pell EFC, you don’t get much aid (free money) anyway.

What is each child’s EFC?

What is your wife’s EFC?
