Student Aid Index (SAI) is a number used to determine your eligibility for federal, state, and institutional financial aid. This number results from the financial information you provided in your FAFSA form and is listed in your FAFSA Submission Summary. Your SAI is calculated according to a formula established by law and considers your family’s taxed and untaxed income (including unemployment and Social Security benefits), assets, and family size. Student Affairs uses your SAI to determine your eligibility to participate in BLP, however if there are gaps in the amount of aid you need, please explain them in the application form so they can be considered.
