Will my child be eligible for financial aid? It depends. The best way to maximize your child's chances of a good financial aid package is to have them apply to schools where their SAT's are in the top quartile of all applicants. These schools are more likely to have a higher demand for your child, even if you are relatively affluent. The key is to maximize your chances to receive aid and to apply.
In our Financial Aid Review meetings we compare and discuss several strategies to put your child in the best position to receive aid. These include:
Income strategies to maximize financial aid eligibility.
Asset location strategies to maximize financial aid eligibility.
Household strategies to maximize financial aid eligibility.
In conjunction with an outside expert, we help prepare your FAFSA and PROFILE applications. This process starts in November and continues through May of your child's Senior year. The steps include:
Register family and prepare FAFSA.
Register family and prepare Financial Aid Profile
Assist parents in evaluating and comparing award letters.
