<p>My FAFSA estimated is under 20k…but the one produced by the college board service and given to me by the college was 35k…Is my contribution gonna sudeenly dip to 20k? :D.</p>
<p>Colleges are not bound by the EFC on either the FAFSA or the CSS Profile. The FAFSA EFC is only “binding” to determine your eligibility for federal money. So the short answer to your question is probably not.</p>
