Estimated Financial Assistance
A school must examine all federal, state, institutional, private, and other sources of educational assistance in determining eligibility for most Title IV Federal Student Aid (FSA). The aid is known as estimated financial assistance (EFA). If other aid will cover a student’s cost of attendance (COA), than the student will not be eligible for most forms of FSA.
