How much financial aid am I eligible to receive?

Previous

Your eligibility depends on your Expected Family Contribution (EFC), your year in school, your enrollment status, and the cost of attendance at the school you will be attending.

The financial aid office at your college will determine how much financial aid you are eligible to receive.

Note: 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 how much financial aid you are eligible to receive.

For more information, you should contact the financial aid office at your school or see Funding Education Beyond High School: The Guide to Federal Student Aid at http://studentaid.ed.gov/students/publications/student_guide/index.html. You can also request a free copy of Funding Education Beyond High School: The Guide to Federal Student Aid by calling the Federal Student Aid Information Center.
