Students who want to be considered for financial aid will need to submit the FAFSA. The FAFSA will determine your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and colleges will use the EFC to determine how much financial aid they will offer you if you are admitted. In addition to providing your financial information, the FAFSA requires the financial information of your parents or legal guardians if you are considered “dependent” by the FAFSA. However, some students might have trouble figuring out who should fill out the FAFSA. For example, if your parents are divorced or living apart, it may be confusing for you to determine who will fill out the FAFSA.
