<p>I agree that it has nothing to do with CSS. I was responding to what the student’s concern might be. They may have thought (wrongly) that a 0 FAFSA EFC would also mean a 0 “family contribution” from a CSS school.</p>
<p>So, if the family’s finances aren’t complicated, and the school’s CSS formula ends up with an expectation similar to the new FAFSA EFC, the family may need to come up with some money.</p>
