FAFSA4CASTER

Greetings folks! Hopefully you have all read the page on the BLOG about filing your FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov and have been able to complete that task (and if you haven't NOW is the time!)

While you wait for your FAFSA to get processed, check out the FAFSA4CASTER on the Federal Student Aid Site. This site is very helpful and can give you an idea of what your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) for the upcoming academic year will be. As you know from reading my BLOG, the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is the amount that you are deemed able to pay toward the cost of college for one academic year. The EFC is used in computing federal financial aid eligibility and should be used as a guide when budgeting and planning for college.

Check out the forecaster and start planning ahead today!
