I guess technically you would have a shot in the dark, but in reality no. Scholarships are given to those with a zero EFC first, if there is any left, they are given to the ones with the lowest EFC first. But, from what I've read in past threads more people apply with a zero EFC than there are scholarships--so even those who apply with a zero EFC are not gaurunteed to get the scholarship. (Sorry)
I would try going to something like scholarships.com and looking for scholarships you may qualify for--there are so many out there, things you may not even realize. (I recently found out I was eligible for a couple scholarships because I have family that was in the confederate and revolutionary wars.
I hope you find something helpful!
