<p>I don’t think you understand EFC. That’s only a number to see if you qualify for federal aid. Boise St isn’t obligated to cover your costs.</p>
<p>Boise St gives LOUSY aid. Probably the worst I’ve seen.</p>
<pre><code>* Average percent of need met: 19%
- Average indebtedness at graduation: $23,256
</code></pre>
<p>Percent of total undergraduate aid awarded as:</p>
<pre><code>* Scholarships / grants: 32%
-
Loans / jobs: 68%
</code></pre>
<p>If you truly do have an EFC of 0, then you will get a grant for $5550 per year. Any other costs would get covered with loans and work-study.</p>
<p>you don’t apply for a Pell grant…It’s awarded to you based on your FAFSA EFC. The school will get that money to put towards your costs.</p>
<p>I would want Boise St to clarify how much they’re going to “cobble together” for you.</p>
