Did You Know?*
- Our average family received $19,075 per year in college aid?
- Our expert Appeals Team increases the average “under-awarded” family’s financial aid package by $4,809 per year?
- We have worked with 822 colleges across the country – including every Ivy league school.
*Through the use of our partner POM College Consulting (POM)
College Costs are Skyrocketing
- Costs include tuition, room and board, living expenses, lab fees, computer, phone, etc.
- Four years can cost $80,000 to $200,000 for just one child!
- Multiply by the number of kids you have.
- Keeps going up by 7-8% every single year.
If you choose to have someone help you, make sure to ask them these questions:
- Can you show me how to lower my EFC and maximize my eligibility for aid?
- Can you help me pick schools that will give me the best aid package—meet most need, more FREE money, less loans, etc.?
- Can you help me fill out the FAFSA and CSS Profile forms line by line?
- Will you help me negotiate if I get a bad package or less than I expected from each school?
- Can you show me how to pay for college on a tax favored basis if I don’t qualify for financial aid?
We can get colleges to increase your awarded offer
It is not uncommon for schools to:
- Mis-award aid packages
- Under-award aid packages
- Compete with other schools
