Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Expected Family Contribution (EFC)?
The EFC (now called Student Aid Index or SAI) is a number calculated from your FAFSA that represents how much your family can contribute to college costs. Lower EFC = more financial aid eligibility.
When should I fill out the FAFSA?
The FAFSA opens October 1st each year. Apply as early as possible since some aid is first-come, first-served. Use the prior-prior year's tax information.
