I signed up and was accepted to a vocational rehabilitation program that pays the unfunded portion of my undergraduate education at the University of Tennessee. First I must pay my EFC of 3757 before the program will pay. It amounts to they want to wring me and every other source of money before they pick up a dime. The trouble is for the year that is being considered i made under 18k in income, and 7500 of that was unemployment benefits. I am single with no dependents but I just dont understand how a person who was unemployed the year in question can be expected to contribute close to 4k towards their college education. Its called rock bottom-i was there-education is my way out-how can i pay that much? If anyone can help me make sense of my EFC or steps to appeal this i would greatly appreciate it!
