We approach financial aid from the parents’ perspective, as we provide you with as much information as possible when preparing and paying for college. Our workshops pick up where typical financial aid nights leave off. We don’t just explain how to file for financial aid, we explain how schools calculate aid packages, including how much of a family’s assets and income are factored in. We detail the rising costs of college, and we teach parents the financial aid process so they are better-informed and better-prepared. There is absolutely no reason to pay too much for college.
