  • The Office of Federal Student Aid (OFSA) uses the information reported on the FAFSA to determine qualifications for grants, loans and work-study programs for students attending colleges, universities and/or career schools.
  • States and postsecondary institutions use information reported on the FAFSA to award scholarships.
  • FAFSA completion leads to a Student Aid Report (SAR), which lists the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The EFC is the financial amount a student/family should be able to provide toward the student's cost of education.
    • Questions or concerns about projected EFCs should be directed to the financial aid office of your postsecondary institution.
    • Federal financial aid is issued directly to the postsecondary institution on your behalf.
    • FAFSA forms and additional information can be accessed at https://fafsa.ed.gov.
