How is financial need determined?
First, the data on the FAFSA is analyzed by the federal government to determine the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) from the total family (student and parents or student and spouse if applicable). That number (EFC) is then subtracted from the Cost of Attendance at Morehead State University to determine financial need. Unfortunately, the amount of financial aid you receive will not always meet your total financial need.
Students/families seeking financial assistance should begin the process by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. Through detailed information provided on the application, a Student Aid Report (SAR) is issued. The SAR, in turn, is submitted with college applications.
