Frequently Asked Questions
When should we start college planning?
It's never too early to start college planning! Ideally, it is recommended to begin the process in the early years of high school, around the freshman or sophomore year. This allows ample time to research colleges, understand admission requirements, and plan your child's academic trajectory accordingly. However, even if your child is in their junior or senior year, it's never too late to start. We can help you catch up and make the most of the time available.
What types of financial aid are available?
There are various types of financial aid available to students, including scholarships, grants, work-study programs, and loans. Scholarships are typically awarded based on merit or specific criteria, while grants are often need-based and do not require repayment. Work-study programs provide part-time employment opportunities on campus, and loans need to be repaid over time with interest. Our experts will guide you through the process, helping you understand the differences and explore the options that best suit your financial situation.
How can we find out about scholarships?
There are several ways to find out about available merit-based scholarships. Start by researching scholarship databases, both online and offline, which list various scholarship opportunities based on different criteria. Additionally, reach out to your child's high school guidance counselor, who can provide information about local or school-specific scholarships. Explore professional organizations, community groups, and corporations that offer scholarships related to your child's interests or field of study. Our experts will guide you through this process, ensuring you don't miss any potential scholarship opportunities.
How do we compare different financial aid offers from colleges?
Comparing financial aid offers can be overwhelming, but we are here to help. Our experts will assist you in deciphering the details of each offer, including scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study opportunities. We will help you evaluate the overall cost of attendance, the portion covered by financial aid, and any remaining expenses. By comparing the net cost, taking into account all the elements of the financial aid packages, we will guide you in making an informed decision that aligns with your financial goals.
How important are extracurricular activities in the college admission process?
Extracurricular activities play a crucial role in the college admissions process. Admissions committees look beyond grades and test scores to gain a holistic understanding of the applicant. Engaging in extracurricular activities demonstrates your child's interests, passions, leadership skills, and ability to manage their time effectively. It is essential to encourage your child to participate in activities they are genuinely passionate about, as this can make a significant impact on their college applications.
