A Student Aid Report (SAR) is a document you will receive AFTER your Free Application for Financial Aid (FAFSA) is processed. Your SAR will list all of the answers you provided on the FAFSA. You should review these answers carefully to make sure they are correct. If you need to make any changes, you can do so on the SAR and mail it back to the address provided, or you can go to www.fafsa.ed.gov and select "Make Corrections to a Processed FAFSA" from the FAFSA Follow-Up section.

The SAR will also contain your EFC (Expected Family Contribution), which measures your family's financial strength, and is used to determine your eligibility for federal student aid during one school year. Your school will use this number to decide how much financial aid you are eligible to receive based on the school's cost of attendance.

If you do not provide electronic signatures or signature pages with the FAFSA, you must sign the SAR and mail it back to the address provided for final processing.
