Truman Net Price Calculator – EFC Calculation

What is the EFC (Estimated Family Contribution)? The EFC is the number that is used to determine your eligibility for Federal student aid. This number results from the financial information you will provide on your FAFSA. The EFC is computed through Federal methodology established by Congress using income and asset information. Your EFC is reported to you in your Student Aid Report (SAR). The EFC is not the dollar amount your family will be required to pay but rather an estimate of your family's financial strength and ability to contribute to your education.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: Be sure to return to http://netprice.truman.edu to complete the Truman Net Price Calculator/Scholarship and Financial Aid Estimator after you have calculated your EFC.
