Financial Need Information

Do you have a FAFSA Student Aid Report with a calculated EFC (Expected Family Contribution)?

Yes
Yes, but I believe my EFC is incorrect
No, I am ineligible to complete the FAFSA

Your EFC is provided on your FAFSA Student Aid Report, generally at the top inside of a box next to your FAFSA filing date.

Have you already received an offer of full tuition remittance from your university or college?

This only covers university scholarships that cover the full cost of attendance (often called a “Full Ride”). Work-study or loan offers are not considered full tuition remittance for this question.

Have you already received an "full ride" scholarship from another source that is not your university?

Many schools limit the amount of financial aid that can be distributed to a student after tuition needs are met and refund excess aid back to the nonprofit. If you select “yes” and are chosen as a finalist, we will work with you to investigate whether your university will accept our additional scholarship.
