Financial Need and Expected Family Contribution (EFC)

Aid for most programs is determined by availability of funds as well as financial need (except for Direct Unsubsidized Loans and Direct PLUS Loans). Financial need is determined by the following formula:

Cost of Attendance - Expected Family Contribution = Financial Need

The Cost of Attendance is a standard budget figure that includes tuition and fees, books and supplies, transportation and living expenses. The Expected Family Contribution (EFC) 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 EFC 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 EFC will appear on the Student Aid Report (SAR) you receive after you file your FAFSA.
