FAFSA Deadlines
Your FAFSA will be processed and you'll get a Student Aid Report (SAR)
Your SAR has your EFC (Expected Family Contribution), which measures your family's financial strength and helps determine eligibility for federal student aid.
SSC uses the EFC to decide how much aid you are eligible for based on our cost of attendance. You may be asked by SSC to fill-out other forms if more info is needed.
