Calculating your financial aid award
Your financial aid is determined by CMU’s cost of attendance and your
ability to pay. Your ability to pay is the Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
and it is based upon the financial information you supply to the federal
processor on your FAFSA.
The difference between the cost of attendance and your expected family contribution is your need, which equals the amount of your subsidized loan eligibility.
You may also be eligible for an unsubsidized loan to cover your expected
family contribution.
For example, if the cost of attendance were $1,000, and your expected family
contribution was $500, your need and the amount of subsidized loan you would
be eligible for would be $500.
Cost of attendance $1,000 EFC -500 Need $500 = subsidized loan
You may also be eligible for an unsubsidized loan of $500.
