Hey everyone! Im lookin forward to going to Howard on Aug 15th (130 more days..lol), but Im awaiting my financial package. Is there anyone currently @ Howard who had an EFC and/or was a ward of the court? I'm both and I want to know what my package will look like.

My EFC was 0. EFC= Expected Family Contribution. Basically we're broke..lol I had to do all that verification nonsence. & legally I dont have any parents...being a ward of the court is kinda like being an orphan (but your parents dont necessarily have to be ****) I belong to the gov't. So on my FAFSA I filed as independent. Its like im living on my own, and have no income. Im sure people from years past have had EFC's of zero, and i know there are people who were wards of the court.

So does that mean you automatically get funding/scholarships/grants upon acceptance?

Well on my other financial packages I got the maximum amount for all the Federal grants, but there always seems to be a gap where I need to take out loans. I dont know what other funding Howard has...(here in NY we have TAP and all state school's have their own grants.) I do not know if HBCU have their own grants..or any other money resource. Thats why I wanted to have an idea of what my financial package would look like.
