period of attendance.

Cost
of Attendance
- Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
=
Financial Need
Your
expected family contribution (EFC) is the amount you and or your parents
are expected to pay for educational costs and is calculated taking into
account your taxable income, certain non-taxable benefits and assets.
The EFC is subtracted from your Cost of Attendance. The difference is
your financial need.
The
EFC is determined using a federal formula which takes into account the
size of the household, the number of students in the household attending
college, your age and/or your parent’s age along with other factors.
In
addition, any other financial resources to be received during the school
year such as Americorps grants, BIA grants and other outside
scholarships will be deducted from your financial need.
If you have special circumstances such as a loss of employment or
income, separation or divorce, death of a parent, etc. and you do not
qualify for much or any financial assistance, please contact our office
to see if your circumstances merit a change in your financial need
calculation.
