Determining Need

The financial information you and your family provide on your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is used by the federal processor to calculate your Expected Family Contribution (EFC).  Your EFC number is the amount that you are expected to provide toward your college costs. The federal processor sends these results to the schools you select. If the cost of attendance for GCCC is greater than the EFC, you are considered to have financial need. Cost of Attendance (COA) includes tuition, fees, books, supplies, room, board, transportation, and miscellaneous expenses.

Cost of Attendance (minus) Expected Family Contribution = Financial Need
