<p>I took a gap year and am now ready to go to college. I completed both forms (2009-2010 International Financial Aid Application and Certification of Finances) and submitted them.
Do you think the college might lower its Financial Aid offer? Our financial status has not changed much. Parents’ savings increased by about five thousand dollars.</p>
<p>Could…most likely will, for the worse.</p>
<p>Why do you base your opinion on, radannie?</p>
<p>If your parents additional monies bump you into an amount of assets above the protected amount then your EFC could go up</p>
<p>I certainly hope not, since the amount my parents can contribute has not increased over the course of this year.</p>
