Figuring out unmet need

Paying for College
1

<p>I am looking at a scholarship and it asks the amount the parent can contribute.
Do I put down the EFC number we are expected to pay? It also wants student savings but then asks me to figure annual need. That is all it asks. Do I split the student savings over the 4 years? Help!</p>

<p>i would say go for the EFC.</p>

<p>Sounds good to me. Now about student savings, do scholarships expect the student to spend all his money on the first year of college?</p>
