You don't have to be poor or needy to get
excellent financial aid...
just well informed!
College is expensive. Some colleges are wealthy and have more money to put into their financial aid offers than do other colleges. However, colleges often feel that financial aid is a privilege.
We disagree...Financial Aid is your right!
Few college counselors work with financial aid. High schools feel that paying for college is your problem, not theirs, so little financial aid planning is ever offered. We feel differently and will aggressively work to reduce what you are expected to pay and increase your financial aid offers. Our recommendations, both legal and ethical, can help reduce your family's required contribution. From our recommendations, it is common to increase the quality and quantity of our student's merit and need-based financial aid awards.
We simplify the financial aid process and counsel your family with the following help:
- Assess your student's eligibility for merit-based scholarships
- Develop and help implement your financial aid strategy to increase merit and need-based aid
- Determine your Expected Family's Contribution and how to
reduce it - Guide you to get maximum Federal, State and College Aid
- Locate preferred low-interest education loans
- Legally and ethically, shelter your assets to increase financial aid
- Provide newsletters to keep you informed
- Keep you on track with monthly calendars
- Bargain and negotiate to get larger merit and need-based financial aid offers
Good Strategy is more important than good luck!
