Your EFC is $5100 or so. All that means is that you are not eligible for a Pell Grant. The Pell Grant is given by the federal government, not your college.

Your college would give you institutional need based aid, if the college has money to give. With your EFC, there are colleges where you would receive need based aid.

Are you saying that your parent contribution to retirement prevented you from getting a Pell Grant? The max Pell is $5730. How did you plan to pay the remaining costs to attend your college?
