According to the Higher Education Act Section [483(a)(3)(E)] FAFSA data, which includes information related to Expected Family Contributions (EFCs) and awards, shall be used only for the application, award, and administration of aid awarded under federal student aid programs, state aid, or aid awarded by eligible institutions. Even with the student’s consent, the Financial Aid Office is prohibited by Federal Law from sharing Financial Aid with third party entities and agencies such as Mass Rehabilitation, SNAP, DTA, Housing, and Fuel Assistance. These agencies must obtain FAFSA information directly from the student.
