STEP 2: REVIEW YOUR STUDENT AID REPORT (SAR)
Four to six weeks after you submit your FAFSA, you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) in the mail. This report details your Expected Family Contribution (EFC), which is the amount your family will be asked to contribute toward your education.
The schools you specified on your FAFSA will also receive a copy of your SAR so that they can customize a financial aid package for you. These financial aid packages may include offers of grants, scholarships, Federal Work-Study, and/or loans.
It’s important that you review your SAR carefully to ensure that everything is correct and matches the information you provided on your FAFSA.
Quick Tips
- Your Student Aid Report (SAR) will arrive four to six weeks after your FAFSA is processed.
