What Is a Student Aid Report (SAR)?
Your Student Aid Report (SAR) is a summary of the information that you provided
on your federal student aid application
(FAFSA).
The Department of Education will send you your SAR once they have processed your
FAFSA. If you completed your FAFSA online, expect to receive an e-mail notification
about your SAR three to four days after submitting your FAFSA. If you completed
a paper FAFSA, your SAR will arrive in the mail about four weeks after you submitted
your FAFSA.
Check Your SAR for Accuracy
Be sure to take the time to review your SAR and check for accuracy. Your SAR reflects
the information that's used to calculate your student aid. Mistakes can prevent
you from receiving the student aid for which you are eligible! If you find any errors,
you can
make changes
to your FAFSA and request an updated SAR.
