<p>lets say someone has the same efc, if someone has ****ty grades and is barely getting accepted with an efc of lets just say 3,000 and someone has amazing grades, qualifying for an academic scholarship and an efc of 3,000 is it true that the person with the better grades will get more grants, etc as well? that they give your more financial aid if they want you to go to there school?</p>
<p>Yes. And at schools that don’t meet need, the lesser student might get little or no aid.</p>
<p>so if your a scholarship candidate, and have a very strong academics background, with tons of ec’s, and good community involvement. phi theta kappa member, ull prolly get more then the average grant of around 10k?..my efc is 2,500</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>If you’re talking about need-based aid, and the school does not meet 100% of need for all students, then yes, a student that the school wants more will probably get more aid. They may also get it in a different form - more grants rather than loans, etc.</p>
<p>There are too many variables, however, to determine whether a particular student will get more or less than the “average”. Remember what “average” means, though - some get more, some get less.</p>
<p>thanks for the reply</p>
