After you submit the FAFSA, we will send you a Student Aid Report (SAR).

• If we have a valid e-mail address on file for you, we will send you an e-mail, within 3 to 5 days, with instructions on how to access an online copy of your SAR.

• If we do not have a valid e-mail address on file, your SAR will be mailed to you via regular mail within 7 to 10 days.

• The schools that you listed on your FAFSA application will also receive your information electronically as soon as it is processed.

• Your Student Aid Report will request additional information or will provide your EFC.

• Request for additional information.

• Complete or correct the requested information by selecting Make Corrections to a Processed FAFSA on the home page or by writing them on your Student Aid Report (SAR).

• Submit your completed or corrected responses online or via your SAR report by mail.

• If your EFC is provided.

• The EFC is a calculation based on the information that is reported on your FAFSA.

• If you are eligible, your school uses the EFC to determine the amount of federal grants, loans, or work-study awards that you can receive.

Your EFC is not the amount of money your family will have to pay for college nor is it the amount of federal student aid you will receive. It is a number used by your school to calculate the amount of federal student aid you are eligible to receive.

**Your school, the state, or the Federal Student Aid may ask you to verify the accuracy of the information you provided on the application.
