Student Aid Index (SAI)
The SAI is an index value that is used to determine the types and amounts of financial aid a student is eligible for. The information submitted on the FAFSA is used to calculate the SAI.
The SAI is calculated according to a formula established by law. Data elements such as income, assets, and benefits (such as unemployment or Social Security) all could be considered in the formula. Also considered is family size.
Contact the Financial Aid Department if corrections need to be made, or to request a reevaluation of aid eligibility if there has been a significant loss or reduction of income since completing the FAFSA.
