Eligibility
Eligibility for Financial Assistance at GW is determined using the following basic formula:
Cost of Attendance less
Outside Resources less
EFC =
NEED
· The
Cost of Attendance is an estimate of the expenses a student should expect to incur in a given year.
·
Outside Resources are resources awarded to the student by someone other
than the federal government or GW's Office of Student Financial
Assistance
·The Expected Family Contribution, or EFC, is determined by the information submitted on the
CSS Profile and
FAFSA
forms and is verified by income tax information. GW's Family
Contribution Worksheet, which can be requested from our office, offers a detailed look at how we determine a
family's EFC.
