Improve Your Chances of Getting the Maximum Amount of Financial Aid!

Applying for financial aid has never been more complicated and competitive. And don't think that only high school students need to be concerned with getting financial aid.

Yes, even college students can reach a point where they need more $$$ in order to graduate.

Kalman A. Chany, author of The Princeton Review’s Paying for College, and President of Campus Consultants Inc., breaks down the key points of financial aid planning so you can improve your chances of getting the aid you need.

Hang on to Those Merit Scholarships!

When it comes to merit scholarships, it is often a case of hard to get, easy to lose.

When a student has worked long and hard to achieve scholarship success, it can be devastating to learn that they are in jeopardy of losing that award.

If your student is about to lose scholarship money that your family can’t afford to lose, take heart. Don’t despair (yet.)

Thankfully there are some little-known methods that students on the scholarship can do to remain eligible when they’re in jeopardy. None are ideal.

But they’ve saved many-a-scholarship.

Click here for some advice.

Inspiration Story Alert!!

If your student is already in college and you're worried about whether they made the right choice, take heart and read this mom's story. (She's a member of our Paying For College101 group.) We guarantee you will immediately feel better.

Feeling reflective. Every time I see this picture, taken September 2014, I remember the path that got her there. This is also a reminder to you all that this craziness you are currently experiencing, will be behind you soon and Southwest Airlines is the way to go. The 3 of us got all of this luggage from NYC to Chicago for free.

This chick took the SAT once realized it wasn't for her, then took the ACT 3 times never getting a score she was happy with, toured way too many schools, cried when she didn't get into her 1st choice school E.D, applied to 9 other schools over the holidays, got into 7 and due to tense financial aid discussions ended up at her 4th choice, confirming 1 day before the deadline. We thought this process would never end, but here we are 3 years after graduation, our girl working on a Ph.D. side by side with the boyfriend she met at the 4th choice school and not regretting a thing.

Enjoy the journey; test results aren't the end-all. Everything will all work out and be over before you know it.

My goal is to provide affordable services, insightful information and a support system so your family can make more informed decisions about college.
