Reducing Cost

Most parents applying for financial aid for their children don't have adequate financial aid information. As a result, they guarantee their children will receive only the minimum aid available. They wait too long to get started. They assume they won't qualify. There are, in fact, several acceptable ways of reducing the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and increasing financial aid eligibility.

These strategies should not be incorporated without the advice of a trained college financial aid consultant or certified financial planner.

The potential of increasing financial aid eligibility by hundreds, even thousands of dollars, makes their fee a very worthwhile investment.

First, you must thoroughly understand the need analysis process, the factors considered, and the percentages and weights assessed for the different elements of data. Then determine if adjustments can be made to your financial circumstance, which would cause your EFC to be lowered.
