The EFC (Expected Family Contribution) is part of the Student Aid Report that you receive when you complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

The EFC measures a student's family's financial strength and is used to determine eligibility for Federal student aid. The Nursing Scholarship Program awards first preference for funding to qualified applicants with an EFC of zero.

The Nursing Scholarship Program uses the EFC listed on the Student Aid Report. If your EFC has changed due to special circumstances, the Student Aid Report must be corrected.

See Instructions on Updating the FAFSA  or phone 1-800-433-3243 to speak with someone about your situation and help updating your FAFSA.

If your EFC changes before a Nursing Scholarship Program award is made, the NSP will reconsider your application based on this change.
