Is my girlfirend pretty much screwed w/ finaid?.....

<p>She just graduated from highschool with a 3.4 and 23 act. She got TOPS which is going to pay for her tuition and 400 a semester i beleive. She filled out her fafsa and it said her EFC is 5,300. For one year of school where we are going to go cost 12,000. She really wantes to live in a dorm but are her chances blown sinces she wont get any federal pell grant money?</p>

<p>Your post doesn’t make much sense. Are you saying that she cannot live in the dorm without a Pell Grant, because her parents either cannot or will not pay for it? If so, then yes, she cannot live in the dorm. Otherwise, it means that she must find the money elsewhere.</p>
