What’s a Student Aid Index (SAI)?
Your Student Aid Index (SAI) is a number calculated from your FAFSA that determines your family’s financial need. The lower your SAI, the more aid you may qualify for.
If your SAI is $60,000 or below, you could qualify for Bethany’s WV Tuition Covered Program.
Not sure what your SAI will be? Visit our FAFSA Resource Center to learn how to complete your FAFSA and see what your estimated aid could look like.
