Are you a senior in high school or younger?

If your FAFSA EFC is that high, then I would be somewhat skeptical about the NPC results. ND & BC may give some allowance for having a younger child in private school, but I doubt it’s dollar for dollar. The Catholics usually do give some consideration for private K-12, but not the whole amount (and $20k per year for a K-12 would be considered a luxury amount, unless the child has some kind of disability).

Be prepared for actual family contribution to be higher once CSS Profile, etc, is used.

Do your parents contribute to a retirement fund each year? IF so, and that didn’t get calculated into the NPC, that could also be an issue.
