Determining Ability to Pay
• The federal aid application (FAFSA) is used to calculate expected family contribution (EFC), which represents the family’s ability to pay.
• The EFC is then used to determine– financial need– eligibility for federal and state need-
based programs

How Is Need Determined?
8
• Financial Aid Need:
Cost of Attendance less Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
Ex: Cost of Attendance $18,000
less EFC 3,000 = Need $15,000
• Need is addressed through various financial aid sources at each institution.
