FAFSA INFORMATION (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)

After you fill out your FAFSA application, you will receive your Student Aid Report (SAR). The response time and method vary depending whether you file on-line or by mail. We recommend filing on-line, as it is the quickest and most efficient way of applying.

The information from the Student Aid Report (SAR) that is required for the Phillips Scholarship is as follows:

  1. EFC or Expected Family Contribution
  2. Summary Information – usually in a grid format, summarizing the information you  submitted in your FAFSA application.
  3. Loan Summary – this is for college students only and summarizes all Federal Loans to date
  4. College Rates - information about the retention and graduation rate for your college 

For the most complete information regarding the FAFSA and SAR, please visit the website, http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/#.

Please note that the paper SAR that you receive if you file by mail may come in a 2 or 8 page report. Please send all pages that you receive by mail.
