What Is The Income Cut Off For Financial Aid?

Financial aid is characterized as either need based or non-need based.  The Financial Aid Office determines if the expected family contribution (EFC) is less than the cost of attendance (COA).  The EFC, which is calculated using a formula established by the Department of Education and is based on several economic factors: income, assets, number of family members in household. 

There is no exact cut off to qualify for financial aid.  Families who do not demonstrate need may still be eligible for non-need based financial aid loan programs.
