@lessonwitch2 yes your story is a fluke and not applicable to anyone who has no financial need and truly has a high EFC of say $50k ie the people who would be reading this thread.

And the fact that they removed your grants AND your loans after your scholarships were awarded is even mods proof that you were given scholarships which have a huge need based component. If you spend some time on the financial aid forum you will sss this is almost always how it is done with need based aid.

If you qualified for ANY grants then you clearly have a low EFC–
And those are NOT the people reading this thread.

If you were to re-apply and take the financial need component out of the equation I’m fairly confident the results would be very different.

I’m not trying to take anything away from you. You sound like a fantastic kid. But please don’t hop onto a thread that is specifically about a high EFC and act like it’s a possibility. It gives false hope to people who may be reading who don’t understand the difference.
