What is EFC with regard to financial aid for college?

Answer by  patti (29325)

EFC=Expected Family Contribution. This is the amount that the student is expected to pay towards his/her own education. FAFSA calculations determine this amount.

This is the Expected Family Contribution, or the amount the government assumes your family will contribute to your college expenses. This is generally based on the amount of money your parents/guardians make in a year, both with income and investments.
