If the amount you're expected to contribute is less than the cost of college you plan to attend, the difference is your estimated "financial need" for aid during the 2009-10 academic year. Colleges will try to meet all or some of your need (depending on their policies) with grants, loans, and student jobs.

Keep in mind that the estimate of financial need shown above can vary significantly among the schools to which you are applying for aid. This is because each institution is allowed to set its own policy about to determine eligibility for their private funds. Your final offer of financial aid may be higher or lower than is indicated on this calculator. The calculator is not intended to provide investment advice nor does it reflect all the various institutional aid policies that may affect your final aid award package.

Please note that the EFC calculator provides an estimate of financial need for one academic year. Students must re-apply for financial assistance each year based on their most current economic circumstances. Therefore, the EFC displayed above represents the approximate contribution for one academic year and not the entire four years of college.
