Maintaining Institutional Financial Aid Applications

You can view and manage institutional financial aid application data from the College Board Profile application.

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:

For the 2023-2024 and prior Aid Years, the College Board Profile and institutional application data share the same pages. If you unintentionally create multiple institutional aid records for a student from these two sources, it can cause unintended Institutional Methodology (IM) calculation results from the Institutional Need Analysis System (INAS).

Note:

Question marks or blanks on College Board Profile data files are converted or appear as zeros in currency based numeric fields.

For further information about the fields in this component, please refer to the College Board's Financial Aid Services Information Center (https://groups.collegeboard.org/fas) for supporting documentation.
