What is the Student Aid Index (SAI)?
The Student Aid Index (SAI) is a number used to determine your eligibility for need-based financial aid. The SAI is calculated using the information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which considers:
- Taxed and untaxed income
- Assets
- Benefits
- Family size
UMGC uses the SAI, along with the Cost of Attendance (COA), to determine your financial need and aid eligibility.
