2004-2005 EFC Formula Book Released

01/14/2004 - The EFC calculation guide for the 2004-2005 school year has now been published. You can view this information about the EFC Formula.

The EFC formula is a complex math problem that is set forth by Congress and the Department of Education that will calculate the amount of money that is expected for you to put forth towards your education that school year.

The EFC will also determine if you are eligible for the Pell Grant and other free money.

The lower your EFC is, the better your chances are at a free education.

Finaid.org had a great EFC calculator to determine an estimated EFC before filing the FAFSA.
