If you already completed the FAFSA for one school, your FAFSA EFC tells you if you are eligible. Eligibility depends on having a FAFSA EFC that is lower than the COA for the school.

You can’t know exact COA until after admission to the schools your DD is considering, but you can certainly get a ballpark estimate based on current tuition, fees, and housing costs for each school.
