This is the time of year when college bound seniors receive admissions decisions if they applied Early Decision or Early Action. Often, those admissions decisions include the actual financial aid award or scholarships/merit aid offers. Students and their parents are often surprised that their financial aid packages or awards are much less than they were hoping for or anticipated.
Moreover, a vast majority of families never do anything about it. They don’t appeal. They don’t proactively develop a plan for paying the bill. They have no idea about borrowing strategies. Does this resonate with you or someone you know? Are you in need of guidance but don’t know how to get it or where to turn? It’s not too late to get professional help!
