InformationabouttheFAFSA
Whenyou enter theworld offinancial aid, itmay sometimesfeel as if you are floating in a seaof alphabet soup.But the fivemostimportant letters youneed to knowright away are FAFSA.
fafsa (free application forfederal student aid)This is the application for need-basedaid.Youmust complete and submitthis form in order to be consideredfor federal, state,and institutionalsources of need-based aid.The form isavailable online atwww.fafsa.ed.gov.You can also obtain copies fromyourhigh school guidance office or fromtheHendrixOffice of Financial Aid.Filing onlinewill generate resultsmuch faster than submitting thepaper formandwillmake reapplyingin future years easier.
>Your family, like the families of allcollege-bound students in the
country, should make it a priorityto complete the FAFSA. Somefamilies incorrectly assume thatthey do not qualify for need-basedassistance and skip this importantstep. The only way to make sure youare eligible to be considered forneed-based assistance at Hendrix isto submit a FAFSA.
efc (expected familycontribution)After you submit the FAFSA to theU.S.Department of Education,youwill receive a StudentAidReport(SAR) that includes yourExpectedFamily Contribution (EFC) figure.Calculated fromdata in yourFAFSA,the EFC is the figurethe government estimates you andyour family can contribute towardyour college educational expenses.TheEFC does not represent a setdollar amount. Instead, it servesas a leveler in determining the typesand amounts of aid forwhich youqualify. It doesn’tmatter if thecomprehensive fee of a school is$15,000,$25,000,or $35,000—yourEFC remains constant.
>If you file the FAFSA online, youwill receive the SAR with your EFCdetermination more than twice as fastas you would if you submit a paperform. The online FAFSA also has anerror-checking function that will helpyou complete the form as accuratelyas possible.
the basic financial aidequation: coa – efc = needThe “price” of aHendrix educationis our comprehensive fee (tuition,double occupancy residencehall room,unlimitedboardplan,andmandatoryfees).Recognizing there are otherexpenses involved in attending
college such as books,supplies,travel,health insurance, laundry,andpersonal expenses,we also calculatea yearly cost of attendance (COA)budget in order to account for theseareas.Your “demonstrated financialneed” is the difference between theHendrixCOAandyourEFC.
>Hendrix will conduct its own analysis ofthe information you provide in theFAFSA. Sometimes wemay requestadditional documentation, such as taxreturns. You can also ask us to considerfinancial circumstances not reflected byyour FAFSA data, such as unusualmedical expenses; loss of incomecaused by job loss, divorce, or death;or tuition for private secondaryschools. If you are asked to submit taxreturns or other documents to theOffice of Financial Aid, please do sopromptly. These are required for someapplicants according to federal, state,and institutional policies.
to file the fafsa online:www.fafsa.ed.govDon’t forget to get your PINnumbersat this site — one PIN for each studentand a different PIN for parents.
promptness pays – earn ahendrix grant by filing thefafsa earlyAny acceptedHendrix applicantwho files the FAFSAbyFebruary 15automatically receives an aid packagewith aminimum$1,000 grant that isrenewable if the FAFSA is filed eachyear by February 15.
