My kids don’t have any assets to speak of, each having a minimal amount of savings from PT jobs at the time, so yes, our EFC was cut in half (for each kid, our total EFC when you added the two kids together stayed about the same as the year before since our income was about the same) which SHOULD have increased the aid our D1 was eligible for at Elon, and which is what the fin. aid counselor at Elon we met with before D1 started there had indicated would happen. Unfortunately, it didn’t help much and D1 will owe a lot more money when she gets out of Elon than we had hoped, but we’ll help her with the debt as best we can, same as we’ve done for our older kids.
