FAFSA4caster Overview
86
FAFSA4caster Overview
Congratulations, THERESA!
FAFSA4caster has successfully calculated the information you submitted.
Below you will see an estimated Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The EFC is not the amount of money that your family must provide. Rather, you should think of the EFC as an index that colleges use to determine how much financial aid you would receive if you were to attend their school.
When you officially apply for financial aid, the colleges you list on your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will determine your eligibility and then send you award information that identifies the aid they have determined you may receive. This award information will vary from college to college because the cost of attending each is different.
Your estimated EFC is 1060.
Now that we have calculated your EFC you can see what your college education may cost for attending a certain type of college in the United States. We will use your estimated EFC of 1060 and the national average for cost of attendance at each type of school.
