These guidelines reflect an income level that will generate an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) of approximately $1,500. For purposes of these guidelines, the approximate contribution for dependent applicants is based solely on the parental income and does not take into account any parental assets nor does it assume any contribution from the applicant’s income or assets. For independent applicants, the guidelines are based strictly on income with no consideration of available savings or other assets.

* Guidelines are based on the formulas used to determine the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) for federal student financial aid.

Financial Assistance

If you are applying for financial aid, you must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This form is used to determine the EFC and allows the campus financial aid office to determine financial aid eligibility and consider the student for an EOP grant of $800 per academic year. You must file the FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1, 2011, and before the CSU financial aid priority filing date of March 2, 2011. EOP grants will be awarded only as long as funds are available. You will have a better chance of receiving an EOP grant and other financial aid for which you are eligible if you apply as soon as possible. Applying for financial aid is a separate process from the EOP admission process. For additional information about financial aid, please review the 2011-2012 CSU undergraduate application.
