Whose EFC is accurate? CSS or FAFSA? Also, why CSS does not reveal EFC?

True merit aid is unrelated to your FAFSA or Profile numbers.

Yes but…there are merit scholarships that are true financial need scholarships and then there are merit scholarships that are awarded for academic performance regardless of financial need.

<p>E’s D is correct that merit scholarships aren’t related to financial need. But momof3 is correct in the sense that it doesn’t really matter given that you have need. Even if they call it merit and it’s not, just apply for it.</p>
