<p>FAFSA does not consider equity in the primary home at all.</p>
<p>CSS does not produce an EFC as such. it is a way of collecting data for schools that require additional information. Each school will use the data according to their own formulas and policies.</p>
<p>Schools that require FAFSA and CSS will use FAFSA to determine federal aid and CSS to determine their own institutional aid.</p>
