If you’re looking for an estimate of what your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) will be and how much aid you or your student may be eligible for than the Department of Education has a great tool called FAFSA4caster.
FAFSA4caster determines what type of federal aid (grants, work study, and loans) the student may be eligible to receive and provides an estimated award for each.
It will probably take 15 minutes to complete and you will need the following things handy before you begin: Social Security number, W-2 forms, bank statements and business and mortgage information.
I found the tool most helpful. (Click here) to check it out.
