If you have filled out a FAFSA, received an award letter, and formally told your school which financial aid and/or loans you would like to accept, you will receive your federal student loan in two disbursements. The first disbursement will be at the beginning of the year during the first semester and the second disbursement will be in the middle of the year during the second semester usually. Your loan will go directly to your school to cover your tuition and fees and anything left over will be sent to you via your student account, or check, or directly deposited. If you have any questions, you can visit your college's financial aid office.
The EFC is per academic year. It needs to be filled out each year. EFC stands for Expected Family Contribution. The is an index number that college financial aid staff use to figure out how much financial aid you are eligible to receive if you go to their school. Your EFC is figured out after you report information about your specific situation on the FAFSA. It is based on a formula established by law. This formula considers your family’s taxed and untaxed income, assets, benefits, family size, and number of family members attending college. Your college figures out how much need-based aid you will receive by subtracting your EFC from your Cost of Attendance. Your EFC is not how much financial aid you will receive, nor is it how much money you will have to pay for college.
