National
College Funding Strategies makes sure your family is situated to pay for college every year your child is in college - regardless
of any changes in family income or status.
There is extensive
financial aid available to help fund the cost of a child's college education, but the process of applying for aid can be daunting
for parents. The financial aid forms parents obtain from the school their child wants to attend often will not give a good overview
of all of the sources for financial aid, the differences between the Federal and Intuitional Methodologies of calculating family contribution
requirements, how different schools vary in their calculation of student financial need, the critical nature of adhering to filing
dates, how to negotiate for better financial aid packages between colleges, the use of “Income Planning” and “Asset Planning” strategies
to qualify for more college financial aid, and common mistakes parents make in completing forms. Contact NCFS today for a no-obligation
consultation.
