Roseland, New Jersey – The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) needs to be filed in order to receive financial aid for college. David Slater, Co-Founder, College Benefits Research Group (CBRG), was featured in an article by Karin Price Mueller, where he discussed the required information a family has to provide. Additionally, he highlighted how a family can protect their assets during the process.

Slater explained, “The government uses a published algorithm to generate each family’s Expected Family Contribution, or EFC, which is based on their income, assets and number of students in college.”  He continues to elaborate on the placement of assets by stating, “On the asset side, the form asks for the amount of cash, savings and checking accounts as well as the investments as of the time that the FAFSA is being filed.”
