⭐️ The time it takes for the entire lesson will vary depending on how much time you allow for group discussions, follow-up class sharing, and extension activities.

Disclaimer: These slides were last updated in 2023. The FAFSA and the financial process is always changing. Please do your own research to stay current. Note that beginning in the 2024-25 Award Year, the FAFSA Simplification Act requires that schools transition from the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) to the Student Aid Index (SAI). The SAI is a number that determines each student’s eligibility for certain types of federal student aid.
