What Are Your FAFSA Results?

After processing your FAFSA, the Department of Education will send you a Student Aid Report (SAR), and will make an electronic copy of your results available to the schools you list on your FAFSA.

Schools use your SAR's Expected Family Contribution (EFC) number to determine if you will receive federal financial aid.

If you qualify, the school prepares a financial aid package to help you meet your financial need. Financial need is the difference between your school's cost of attendance (including living expenses), as calculated by your school, and your EFC.
