This is one of the trickiest things to navigate when seeking higher education. Basically, each student must file a FAFSA before s/he will be eligible for federal aid. Aid is determined based on this simple formula:
Cost of Attendance (COA)
- Estimated Family Contribution (EFC)
= Financial Aid Award
The COA varies from institution to institution, and is based on things such as tuition, room and board, books, and transportation. The award granted is subject to yearly maximums. The links below provide information on various aspects of aid.
