1. Financial Planning
Twelve months available to seek tax advice, defer or shelter income, and understand how family tax savings can affect financial aid. These numbers are then imported into the FAFSA. They can be modified if appealed to an officer of financial assistance.
2. Evaluation
The nine-month college evaluation is conservative and can begin well before this date. Be open and fair about your choices and ability to pay.
3. Decision Making
The seven-month decision period allows students and their families to evaluate affordability, consider appeal awards, and investigate alternative college pathways. These straightforward steps offer the essential information. Admission decision dates vary by college.
Twenty-eight months may have been much longer than anticipated, so take advantage of it.
Students and parents are responsible and recognize that a good education doesn't have to be expensive or stressful as long as time is used wisely.
