My Fafsa Score is 0 for 2009-10 school year?? Is that good or bad?

Okay last year my score was 972 and I had to pay quite a bit out of pocket, this year both of our incomes are much less and I have 4 exemptions to claim. Is that why it is 0?? Or does 0 mean that I have to pay for all of it???? I really dont understand the student aid portion of it, although I ve made the Deans list last semester.

    I commend you on making the Dean's List, but it has no relevance to what you qualify for with FAFSA.

    Have you already completed you 08 Federal return? Seems kind of early but good for you if you've already received your W2's!

    A zero EFC means that you should qualify for the maximum grant benefit. Although it's not great to make less money, it did help you in this instance as did the 4 exemptions.
