<p>my mom just filed our FAFSA…she has 3 dependants and there will be 3 people in college. However, her husband makes around $80,000 a year. What should we expect from FAFSA?</p>

<p>It’s much more effective to do it yourself. Pick Federal Methodology when the prompt appears. </p>

<p>If she filed the FAFSA she should have sen an EFC right away on the final page</p>

<p>use the calculator at <a href=“http://www.finaid.org%5B/url%5D”>www.finaid.org</a> to get a rough idea:</p>

<p>In any event, if the FAFSA was completed online, you will know very soon your expected family contribution (EFC).</p>
