    FAFSA Preparation & Submission(included FREE with this package)
    We’ll walk you through every step—or do it for you—ensuring accuracy and early submission.

    CSS Profile Completion
    Required by many private colleges, and easy to get wrong—we’ll make sure it’s done correctly.

    Unlimited Questions & Email Support
    Ask anything, anytime. We’re your personal team of financial aid experts.

  • Expert Review of Your Student Aid Report (SAR)

    We will confirm that your submitted FAFSA data was processed correctly. If your SAR shows incorrect income, assets, or household size we will fix it fast so you don’t lose aid.

  • School-Specific Financial Aid Forms

    Many colleges request additional forms like Non-Custodial Parent info, verification documents, or income tax transcripts. We ensure everything is completed correctly and submitted on time, so your aid package doesn’t get delayed or denied.

  • Award Letter Analysis & Negotiation Support

    Not all aid offers are created equal. We will evaluate your award letters line by line, explain the real out-of-pocket cost, and recommend when and how to request more aid.

    If an award is low compared to peer institutions or your demonstrated need, we will help you craft a professional, effective appeal letter a strategy that has helped families gain thousands in additional aid.

  • Aid Maximization Strategies

    We know how the system works and how to make it work for you. We’ll identify aid opportunities specific to your income, assets, family structure, and student profile. This includes legal FAFSA adjustments (e.g., reducing reportable assets or clarifying unusual circumstances) that can lead to substantial increases in eligibility.
