F.A.Q

Frequently Asked College Funding Questions

01

When should we start planning for college funding?

We recommend starting college funding planning as early as middle school, but it's never too late to begin. Early planning allows for more savings opportunities and strategic financial positioning. However, we can help families at any stage, including those with high school seniors who need immediate assistance with financial aid applications.

02

What factors affect financial aid eligibility in Connecticut?

Several factors influence financial aid including family income, assets, household size, number of children in college, and the cost of attendance at chosen institutions. Connecticut-specific programs may also consider state residency and academic performance. We can help you identify strategies to optimize your eligibility for both federal and state aid programs.

03

How can we reduce our expected family contribution (EFC)?

There are legitimate strategies to optimize your financial profile for financial aid purposes, including strategic asset positioning, income timing, and maximizing allowable deductions. We help families understand which assets are counted most heavily in financial aid formulas and develop plans to present their financial situation in the most favorable light while maintaining complete compliance with all regulations.

04

What's the advantage of using a college funding service versus doing it ourselves?

Professional college funding advisors bring expertise in navigating complex financial aid systems, knowledge of little-known scholarship opportunities, and experience with appeal processes. We stay current with changing regulations and can often identify thousands of dollars in additional funding that families might miss on their own. Our services typically pay for themselves many times over in increased financial aid awards.

05

What should we do if our financial situation changes after submitting FAFSA?

If you experience significant financial changes such as job loss, reduced income, medical expenses, or other special circumstances, you can file a financial aid appeal with the colleges. We guide families through this process, helping document the changes and present a compelling case for additional aid. Many families successfully secure increased funding through professional appeal assistance.
