ESTIMATED FAMILY CONTRIBUTION AND STUDENT AID INDEX
A student’s demonstrated need is determined by reviewing the student and parent(s)’ income and asset information. The Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) is calculated by the CSS Profile and is used to determine institutional aid eligibility. Divorced or separated parents should complete their own CSS Profile. The Student Aid Index (SAI) is calculated by the FAFSA and is used to determine Federal and State financial aid eligibility. The minimum student contribution is $1,700 each year and is constant all four years.
HOW TO APPLY
To apply for need-based aid, complete the FAFSA, CSS Profile, and submit supporting documents. No additional application or documentation is required for scholarship consideration.
