<p>on my financial aid summary, I am given an EFC amount as well as a remaining cost amount. which amount will I be paying if I attend UMASS this fall? I called and they said EFC, yet it’s hard to believe when there’s that’s “remaining” amount.</p>
<p>The EFC is already calculated; it is kind of what they expect you to pay. Have you gotten any financial aid yet? Does it say anything next to Financial Aid awarded? I think they subtract the EFC and the financial aid awarded from the cost, whatever is left you have to find a way to pay, but you are also responsible for the EFC. </p>
<p>I think that is how things work. If anyone else knows different can you let me know.</p>
