I understand, momsav. Any and all help we can get is appreciated. It’s an unbelievable amount of money and we are choosing a state university and it is still overwhelming financially. We haven’t received a financial package yet from the CSU my son has chosen but I’m trying to be as prepared as possible. I just don’t understand it all. Our EFC is 13,990 so I feel for you. We got a nice package from a private school my son was considering and they offered us 12,000 in merit awards for his GPA and then a 10,000 grant of some kind but we still had to turn it down and go with a CSU because it was still going to be 20,000 a year left over for us to cover. We just can’t afford that especially when we have 3 other kiddos to feed and save for. We are lucky in that our son really had his heart set on the most affordable school, anyway.
