College Finance

Almost all colleges follow Federal guidelines for determining 'need'.  The Department of Education uses a standard formula to calculate how much it thinks you can contribute each year.  This figure is called the Effective Family Contribution (EFC for short)  Any cost above this is called 'need'.  Colleges will frequently offer scholarships, grants, loans and other stuff to help make up the 'need'.  

You can use this calculator to estimate need.  Because the Department of Education form is quite long we have simplified ours.  Still, for most people, you will get a good estimate of your need.
