The Student
Aid Report (SAR) is a summary report of your FAFSA form submission
After submission and completion of the
FAFSA form, the federal government will
process your application and produce a
Student Aid Report (SAR).
The SAR will report the information
from the FAFSA form and calculate your
Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The EFC will appear near the top section of the report.
see our note on the Expected Family Contribution

The SAR will be sent to you and the schools
you reported on your FAFSA form.
The SAR will be sent to the schools you selected when you submitted the FAFSA form. Schools will use the SAR to determine the eligible amount of college aid.
If you submit the FAFSA form via the
Internet, and processed all the required documents,
you will receive the SAR in about one
week after your FAFSA application is processed;
If you submit the FAFSA form via direct
mail, you will receive the SAR in about
3-4 weeks after your FAFSA form is received.

corrections by one of the following ways:
- make changes online using your PIN:

- or on Part 2 of the SAR and return
it to the address given at the end of
Part 2;
- or request that your school make the changes
electronically (contact your school)
