I would say your first step if you have not already done so is to fill out a FAFSA form. This is the universal form that all colleges use to determine how much grant money you may be eligible to receive. The website for the form is www.fafsa.gov. Once you fill out the form you should get a response in a few months and you will know how much aid you can receive.

If your financial aid has been terminated at one college due to unsatisfactory progress and you decide to go to another college will you be able to receive financial aid at the new college?
That depends on the college's requirements. Most likely not though because if the first college cancelled the aid because of less than satisfactory performance the other school will look at the applicant less favorably.
If you get four years of college paid for because your parent works at a college are you still eligible for financial aid if you need it for living expenses and the cost of books?
Yes, you can. Part of determining eligibility for financial aid is your "cost of attendance" (COA). The COA includes tuition, books, fees, and estimated living expenses. Your total financial aid, including the free tuition you're getting from the school can't exceed the COA. You can receive other aid up to the unmet cost. This will probably be in the form of student loans or work-study depending on your financial situation. The financial aid office can tell you what your options are.

If my son's EFC was 0 why is his college asking for the balance of 3844 to be paid by his parents this is after all grants and loans figured?
That means the tuition and fees are higher than the financial aid he received, and so now he and his family are responsible for the difference. EFC stands for Expected Family Contribution. The is an index number that college financial aid staff use to figure out how much financial aid you are eligible to receive if you go to their school. Your EFC is figured out after you report information about your specific situation on the FAFSA. It is based on a formula established by law. This formula considers your family’s taxed and untaxed income, assets, benefits, family size, and number of family members attending college. Your college figures out how much need-based aid you will receive by subtracting your EFC from your Cost of Attendance. Your EFC is not how much financial aid you will receive, nor is it how much money you will have to pay for college.
