Criteria for Awarding Federal, State and Institutional Financial Aid Funds

The financial aid awarded to students is based on financial need and/or the eligibility criteria of scholarship, grant, loan and employment programs. The student's Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and financial need is determined by Federal Methodology based on information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The EFC determines what the student/parent(s) can reasonably be expected to pay toward the student's educational costs. The University of Minnesota, Morris (UMM) will use the EFC to determine financial need and the eligibility for federal, state and institutional financial aid based on federal, state and institutional formulas, criteria, policy, regulations and the availability of funds under the direction of the University administration.
