Your family's ability to pay for college and the role financial aid will play needs to be taken into consideration at the beginning of the college research process. Don't wait to have this talk with your student until after he or she has researched, visited and applied to colleges!
Applying for financial aid and filling out scholarship applications can take as much time and planning as actually applying to college. The biggest mistake families make in the financial aid process is NOT applying. The second biggest mistake is missing deadlines. There is a lot of college funding available to assist families, but you must stay on top of the process by providing thorough information on time.
Our consultants will help you understand the language and the timeline involved in applying for scholarships and finacial aid. We will also help introduce you to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and other commonly used financial aid forms.
