FAFSA is simply a formula and doesn’t directly provide ANY financial aid. It tells you what your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is for college, and what your eligibility is for Pell grants.

Once your college gets the FAFSA data, they decide what kind of financial aid package to offer. There isn’t duplicate money.

Call the financial aid office(s) if you need help understanding their offer(s) – they’ll be very happy to help you.
