How much financial aid do I qualify for with an EFC of 1551???

Question

Im on Disability and get about 9000 a year from it...

Answer 1

You should probably qualify for grants and some financial aid from the college itself. However, I do recommend getting in touch with the Office/Department of Vocational Rehabilitation in your state. They work with the disabled and can provide some help to attend college. I also recommend getting in touch with the disabled student services office at the college, too. However, I will provide some other sources for finding scholarship money for college, too.

First, the college's financial aid office and website has a list of private scholarships offered from outside organizations and companies. Sometimes a college major's website will have a list of scholarships, too.

Second, the public library has a book listing scholarships with some not even listed on the web.

Finally, I recommend joining several free membership scholarship search websites. There are scholarships for a variety of things including ethnicity, clubs, hobbies, and even wearing duct tape to the high school prom. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on information entered onto a form on the website.

Good luck!

Answer 2

You should get a partial Pell Grant (something less that the $4000.00 because you are only eligible for that if you have an efc of 00000) and you should be eligible for anymore aid your school can provided you and loans to their maximums.

Good Luck!!!

Answer 3

It depends on what college you are attending, and the type of aid you are applying for loans, grants, scholarships, etc.

Answer 4

Probably not much. It also depends on your school and how hard they will work with you to get grants and aid. Talk to your counselor.
