Colleges use your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) from the FAFSA to determine financial aid offers. Here are some ways that you can reduce your EFC which can help you get more financial aid! 


Registration for my Financial Aid Academy for the 22/23 year (for parents of rising high school seniors) is open! 🙌 

This virtual program begins September 1st 2022 and runs through May 31st 2023. But spots will fill up fast!  Seeing this video after September, no worries you can still join?

There are three different levels of service in the Academy for you to choose from, depending on how closely you want to work with me throughout the senior year financial aid process.  

✨BASIC, PLUS and PRO. 

Last year the PLUS and PRO levels filled up and I had to cut off registration early as I limit the number of families in these levels so that I can provide quality services to them.

How The Financial Aid Academy was born. 🤩

When I started this business I quickly realized that 90% of my clients and people reaching out to me for questions were parents of high school seniors navigating the overwhelming financial aid process for the first time.  

Often times they came to me in sheer panic 😫when the financial aid offers rolled out not knowing how they were going to afford college tuition.
_________________
So I set out to create an AFFORDABLE coaching program specifically for them that spanned the entire senior year to help them:

✅ Get prepared before that time came so there were no surprises 
✅ Better understand the financial aid process and feel less stressed navigating it
✅ Fill out the FAFSA and CSS Profile (if required) correctly and avoid common mistakes that could cost them thousands of dollars
✅ Stay on track and not miss important deadlines
✅ Find colleges their families could
✅ Access all the financial aid they are entitled to 
✅ Maximize their financial aid offers 
✅ Feel more secure and confident while having direct access to a professional who has worked in the financial aid field for over 30 years. 

I have helped hundreds of families navigate the overwhelming financial aid process and get the best aid offers possible through my Financial Aid Academy.  

On average, families who enroll in the Academy receive an additional $25,000 in financial aid over the course of 4 years on top of their regular financial aid offers! 💰
