<p>According to their website, the numbers above are the costs for room/board and books for this school year. So…your total costs after tuition is paid would be closer to $10,000 for the year.</p>
<p>If your income is below $30,000 for both parents (mom and dad) it is very possible that your EFC per FAFSA would be an auto $0. If that is the case, you would be eligible for,the full Pell Grant of $5730. </p>
<p>Is this Purple Promise award in addition to the Pell…or do they include the Pell if you are Pell eligible? You need to find out,</p>
<p>If the Purple Promise pays your tuition and does NOT use the Pell Grant to help do so, then you would have some portion of the Pell…plus your Direct Loan.</p>
<p>Have you done the Net Price Calculator on the college website? Perhaps this will give you a better idea of your net cost. Try it.</p>
