At every Federal Student Aid conference I attended, aid professionals requested that the Department of Education find another name for EFC.

This is essential. It fundamentally miscommunicates the meaning of the number. It’s an index, and should be expressed as such. Accurate names would include: College Aid Index (CAI), Family Financial Index (FFI), Index for Federal Student Aid (IFSA), Federal Student Aid Index (FSAI), etc.
