Reviewing Your Student Aid Report (SAR)

Your SAR summarizes the data from your FAFSA and indicates your official Expected Family Contribution (EFC).

You'll receive one of the following within a few day (if you filed your FAFSA electronically) two to four weeks (if you mailed a paper FAFSA).

- Student Aid Report (SAR) if you applied using the paper FAFSA and did not provide a valid e-mail address or
- SAR Information Acknowledgment, if you applied using FAFSA on the WEB but did not provide a valid e-mail address or
- An e-mail with a secure line to access your SAR online, if you provided a valid e-mail address when you applied.

After receiving your SAR, carefully check it for mistakes. Compare the information listed on the SAR to a copy of your FAFSA, since the EFC listed on your SAR will determine the amount of aid you are eligible to receive.

If you believe your information is incorrect, you can fix any mistakes by writing the correct answers on the Information Review Form that is on the back of the SAR. When the Information Review Form is complete, you can:
- Contact your financial aid office to see if the school can send the corrections electronically, or
- Mail the form to the address designated on the SAR.

To make your SAR available to more schools for free follow the directions on the SAR.
