Viewing Federal SAI/EFC Information

This section discusses how to review Federal SAI/EFC summary information.

Note: For the 2023-2024 and prior Aid Years, the result of both the Federal Methodology (FM) and Institutional Methodology (IM) calculations for the amount of money that a student and his family are expected to contribute is referred to as Expected Family Contribution (EFC); FM EFC and IM EFC.

For the 2024-2025 and future Aid Years, FM calculation result is referred to as the Student Aid Index (SAI); replacing the FM EFC.

Note: The system always makes available the three most recent Aid Year versions of the View FM SAI/EFC Detail component.
