Whether you receive your Student Aid Report (SAR) online or on paper depends on whether you provide an email address on your FAFSA. If you apply for FAFSA online, it may take 3-5 days to receive SAR.
If you provide a valid email address, you’ll receive an email with instructions on how to access an online copy of your SAR.
Also, you can use, FAFSA4caster, which is a free financial aid calculator that gives you an early estimate of your eligibility for federal student aid. (FAFSA4caster is not an application for aid; it’s a planning tool.)
