Financial Aid Strategies
We can help you explore several alternatives and optimize your options to afford a quality education. We can help you get organized to apply for financial aid, explore merit and need based aid, estimate the expected amount of family contribution required, and more.
Initial Aid Applications
Free Application for Financial Aid (FAFSA®) is required for need based financial aid. In addition, Many colleges require CSS/Financial Aid Profile®, Business/Farm Supplement, Institutional Document Service (IDOC)®, college specific aid forms, verification worksheets, and copies of tax returns/Form W-2/Form 1099, and more. We can help you understand the requirements and assist you in completing your applications early.
Evaluating Awards
The cost of attending college can vary, as can the aid award you receive. We can help you under stand your short-term funding needs, and the long-term total cost of your education.
Appealing Awards
Your initial financial award letter might be less than what you expected. If you are interested in attending that school, we can help you evaluate your award and help you draft an appeal to have it reviewed again.
Filing Annual Updates
Financial aid is awarded for one academic year at a time, and annually you are required to complete the FAFSA® and other forms based on the latest tax returns and change in assets. Significant increase or decrease in income will change your aid accordingly. We can help you with these annual filing requirements to make sure you continue to get the reward you deserve.
Special Circumstances
Your personal circumstances might change any time. We encourage you to contact us to help you with your personal situation.
