| Student Family Contribution |
|
The term "family contribution" can be defined several ways. When the FAFSA is completed and processed it
calculates an EFC or Expected Family Contribution. The EFC is the addition of the parent contribution plus
the student contribution. Both contributions are calculated based on the income and assets listed on the
FAFSA. The amount of financial aid eligibility for students is based on the subtraction of the EFC from
the cost of education.
For example, if it costs $10,000 to go to school per year and the EFC is $5000 we can provide up to $5000
in need based financial aid.
The following link will take you to an EFC estimator that will give you an accurate estimate of your
projected family contribution: http://www.finaid.com/calculators/finaidestimate.phtml. NOTE: The
estimator will not determine how much and what type of financial aid a student may be eligible for.
