Financing Your Goals Jorge Aguilar, College Prep III
A Few Keypoints • FAFSA: When you fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the Federal government looks at family’s income, assets, and other details to figure out how much the family is able to pay. Complete it in January of your senior year. You will need parents’ W2’s and 1040 Forms. • EXPECTED FAMILY CONTRIBUTION (EFC) – Refers to what the family is expected to help with. This number remains the same no matter where the student decides to go. • AID NEEDED: The difference between how much a college costs annually and your family’s EFC indicates how much aid you need.
