Need support completing your application? Schedule an appointment with a KIPP Forward Counselor.
The Student Aid Index (SAI) is a number calculated using information reported on the FAFSA/CADAA that determines a student's financial need and how much financial aid they may be eligible for at a college; essentially, it represents a family's ability to contribute to the cost of college based on their income and assets, with a lower SAI indicating a greater need for financial aid.
Once you identify your SAI, please inform your KIPP counselor of your SAI. They will explain more information on the number.
Unsure who is your assigned KIPP Counselor? Please email us with your full name, date of application submission, and SAI at alumni@kippsocal.org. We will connect you with a KIPP Forward Counselor.
