The Student Aid Report (SAR) estimates the Expected Family Contribution

  • after submission and completion of the FAFSA form, the federal government will process your application and produce a Student Aid Report (SAR).

  • the SAR will report the information from the FAFSA form and calculate your Expected Family Contribution (EFC).

    the SAR will be sent to you and the schools you reported on your FAFSA form.

  • if you submit the FAFSA form via the Internet, and sent in all required documents, you will receive the SAR in about one week after your FAFSA application is processed;

    if you submit the FAFSA form via direct mail, you will receive the SAR in about 3-4 weeks after your FAFSA form is received.

  • after you receive the SAR, you must review it and make any necessary corrections:

    if changes are required, you can make corrections on Part 2 of the SAR and return it to the address given at the end of Part 2; or your school can make the changes electronically (contact your school).

  • if you want to have the SAR sent to a school that wasn't originally reported on the FAFSA form, you may do one of the following:

    • photocopy your SAR and mail it to the school of choice
    • correct and add the new school to your SAR and return it to the US Department of Education
    • contact the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-433-3242 (or dial directly 1-319-337-5665) and request duplicate copies to be sent to you
    • request duplicate copies to be sent to you from the FAFSA form web site (under "Request Duplicate Student Aid Report")
    • add more schools by submitting a correction to your FAFSA information.
