Student Aid Report or SAR is a summary of the information you submitted on your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You receive this report via email a few days after your FAFSA has been processed or by mail within 7-10 days if you did not provide an e-mail address.
The SAR will contain your Expected Family Contribution, which is the number that’s used to determine your eligibility for federal student aid.
Review the SAR to ensure accuracy, make corrections or submit additional information if requested.
