FAFSA financial aid pell grant EFC?
I filled out a EFC calculator and it said i qualified for the automatic zero EFC but when i filled out the FAFSA i got an EFC of 600. I am wondering why it is higher and with an EFC of 600 what pell grant amount can i expect. Cost of tuition is 8000 and room and board is another $7000 at my school and last year i recieved the pell grant for just under $4000. thanks for any help!

- Those calculators are just estimates, the formula changes every year and if you come across one that hasn't been updated, (they very rarely are once they are published) your efc won't be exact. If you meet about a million requirements expect your Pell to be about the same as it was last year... around 2,000 a semester if you attend full time. Congrats!
