What is a good efc number to know if u will get financial aid?
The zeros ARE your EFC number. It should be located at the top of your SAR and it will read: EFC: 00000 This means that based on the information on your FAFSA, your Expected Family Contribution is 0, meaning that your family is low income enough that you would not be expected to afford anything toward your own education. This means that you will qualify for the maximum Pell Grant of $4732 for 08-09 and possibly other aid depending on your school. Because you have received your SAR, you should be receiving information from your school as well very soon. If you have not, then you should contact their Financial Aid Office to get more information regarding your application status.
