If there are any errors or issues that you need to resolve you will need to follow the instructions listed on the SAR to correct them. 在你的SAR上报告的信息也会被发送到你在FAFSA上列出的学校. Mount Carmel护理学院应该在你收到SAR的同时收到你的FAFSA数据. Your Student Aid Report will also include your Expected Family Contribution as calculated by the Department of Education.
家庭预期贡献(EFC)是什么意思?
The Department of Education uses the information you provide on your FAFSA to calculate your Expected Family Contribution (EFC). Your EFC is the amount of your educational costs the 政府ernment has determined you and your family can afford to pay either out-of-pocket or through various financing options.
Your EFC is listed as a numerical value on your Student Aid Report and is transmitted to all of the schools listed on your application along with the rest of your FAFSA data. Mount Carmel uses your EFC to determine the amount of your financial need and eligibility for need-based funding.
It is important to remember that your EFC is not necessarily the amount you will owe to the College or the overall amount your education will cost. An EFC is only an estimate of the amount of your family's contribution and can be different from your final bill or amount of in-direct costs, 这取决于你的经济需要有多少被提供给你的经济援助所覆盖.
我明年需要提交FAFSA吗?
