Financial Need (Student Loans) is the difference between the Expected Family Contribution (the portion of a family's financial resources which should be available to help pay for school), and cost of education (includes tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, transportation and personal expenses). This is the amount of aid a student is eligible to receive.
