Student Aid Index (SAI)
Your SAI number within your FAFSA Submission Summary is an index number that colleges use to determine how much financial aid you're eligible to receive. Your SAI is calculated according to a formula established by law and the information from your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Verification
If there's an asterisk next to your SAI, it means your FAFSA Submission Summary requires further verification. The school(s) on your FAFSA will follow-up with you with a list of documents needed to verify the information you submitted.
Data Release Number (DRN)
A Data Release Number (DRN) is a four-digit number given to your application by Federal Student Aid. You can provide your DRN to a customer service agent if you need certain changes made to your FAFSA information. Do not give your DRN to anyone other than a financial aid administrator or customer service agent.
Loan summary
