EFC came back as zero?
So I'm doing this program where I dorm and have all student services at the university, but I go right down the road and take my first two years at the comm college, so the next two years at uni will be the same tuition cost as comm college. Pretty sweet deal right lol
So the total cost of it this annually will be 13,574 and this includes
Dorms
Meal Plan
Books
Tuition
Extra Fees
My efc for FAFSA came back as a solid 00000
What does this mean? Is it possible that this will be covered? I'm trying so hard not to get student loans taken out and if I could I would just stay home and take comm college classes here but due to personal life situations I can't stay home and this is the cheapest alternative for me.

It is still not likely it will all be covered & here is why
EFC of zero gives you $5,550 per YEAR in Grant money
if you do not also have scholarships, then you will have to take out loans to make up the difference between $5550 & $13574.
It is possible that some state aid might also be granted if you are going to school in-state..... and, even with that, you will still have to take out student loans
have you considered less expensive options (such as going to school close to home so you save on dorm fees & meal plans?)... well, never mind... it seems you addressed this.. you can't stay at home
what state are you in? have you looked for a community college in-state that offers dorming? It would be worth looking at to see how much money that could save you.
