Financial Aid Question

Hi,

New MD0 here! And totally clueless about fin aid. I'm international so I don't know how the finaid works here. I can't qualify for federal aid, but my school is able to provide institutional aid. What I'm confused about is...I know they calculate the expected family contribution (EFC) from the FAFSA, but does that mean, the school fin aid office will find ways to help me pay off whatever tuition is remaining (outside of the EFC)?

Is there ever a chance of the school not being able to meet my needs (tuition minus EFC)?

Sorry for posting silly questions...but I'm really worried!

Thanks!

They're going to expect you to get loans. Contact the financial aid office for specifics.
