What is an EFC – Expected Family Contribution?
The Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is a figure calculated from the information you provide on the FAFSA. It estimates how much your family is expected to contribute towards paying for your education. The EFC is not meant to be an exact amount that you will need to pay up front when you enroll, but it may give you an idea of how much additional funding you might need to come up with.
