In part, Mark writes, Even as Congress simplified some aspects of the financial aid form and formula, it made other aspects more complicated.
Modifications include:
- EFC (Expected Family Contribution) becomes "Student Aid Index."
- Form reduced from 108 questions to ~ three dozen.
- How many from one family are in college will not be a factor.
- Income Protection Allowance increased.
- Child Support not counted as untaxed income.
- Other cash support to a student -- not factored in.
