FAQ: How much money will I get from financial aid?

That depends upon your eligibility, your EFC, and how early you apply. To get an idea of your eligiblity, you can calculate your EFC (Expected Family Contribution).

Regardless of a student's level of eligibility, it is always possible (barring previous defaults) to get student loans. We automatically offer student loans if we cannot fully fund someone through other types of aid.

Below is the maximum amount of loan you can get per year.
