Financial Need
Most student financial aid funds are awarded based on financial need. Federal methodology assumes that it is the responsibility of the student and/or the student's family to pay for post-secondary education costs as they are able.
The ability to pay is determined by examining the family's current financial condition and considering such factors as parental income and assets, student income and assets, taxes paid, family size, unexpected medical expenses, nontaxable income and benefits, etc.
By completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), an estimated family contribution (EFC) is calculated. The EFC is used by an institution to determine eligibility for various financial aid funds.
Financial need is determined in the following way:
Cost of Attendance
minus Expected Family Contribution
