<p>I doubt anyone has gotten $0 on total resources because the guide to financial aid that UChicago sent out along with the aid awards says that an appropriate amount for a student to earn over the summer toward his or her tuition is $1980. So even though my EFC is also zero, I’m still expected to come up with $1980 over the summer with a job. I assume that the absolute minimum total resources for anybody, then, would be $1980?</p>
