Your Expected Family Contribution, i.e., the results of your FAFSA, subtracted from your
Cost-of-Attendance equals your financial need.
Cost-of-Attendance minus Expected Family Contribution = Financial Need
How much financial need you demonstrate, will determine for which programs you qualify. Even
if you have no financial need, you will still qualify for the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Student
Loan and Parent Loan for Undergraduate Student (PLUS). Your parent must be willing to apply for
the PLUS Loan and have a satisfactory credit history. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that your aid will cover your full financial need or the full cost-of-attendance.
