From the FAFSA Website:

How do I apply for aid?

* Complete the FAFSA and provide the required signatures.
* Wait 3-5 days while we process your FAFSA and send you a Student Aid Report (SAR).
* Check the SAR carefully. Your SAR will summarize the data you report on your FAFSA.
* Keep a copy of your SAR.
* View your Expected Family Contribution (EFC). If your FAFSA information is complete, an EFC will appear in the upper right corner of your SAR. Your EFC is based on the financial information you provide on the FAFSA.
* Check with your school. Your school will use your EFC to award your financial aid.
