<p>I got a letter from FAFSA yesterday with my “Unofficial” Eligibility.</p>
<p>UCSC costs about $30,000 overall
I am eligible for $29,000</p>
<p>Did anyone else get this kind of eligibility??</p>
<p>I was eligible for the full cost, I got $24,000 free.</p>
<p>omg did you guys seriously get that much aid!! that’s incredible 
is it b/c you have low efc’s?-there’s nada on my portal</p>
<p>What is a EFC?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure I got it because I live in an area with a high cost of living and I also have 4 other siblings. I’m not entirely sure though.</p>
<p>Expected Family Contribution.</p>
<p>My EFC is zerooooo to an accuracy of 1 billion decimal places.</p>
<p>Mine was low, yeah. That was mainly due to the fact that my dad was out of work for a few months last year (word of advice: don’t go into the movie business)</p>
