Financial Need and Student Aid Index (SAI)

The new Student Aid Index (SAI), replaced the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) calculation. Your Student Aid Index (SAI) is calculated using the information you provide on your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form.

Cost of Attendance - Student Aid Index = Financial Need

The Cost of Attendance is a standard budget figure that includes tuition and fees, books and supplies, transportation and living expenses. The Student Aid Index (SAI) is a measure of your family's financial strength and indicates how much of your and, if dependent, your family's financial resources should be available to help pay for your education. The SAI is calculated according to a formula established by the U.S. Congress from the information you report on the FAFSA. The resulting Financial Need determines your eligibility for the various federal aid programs. Your SAI will appear on the Student Aid Report (SAR) you receive after you file your FAFSA.
