4 Steps To Increase Your Financial Aid And Reduce The Cost Of College

Calculate Your Families Student Aid Index

During the onboarding process you will be asked questions to simulate the FAFSA financial aid form to calculate your Student Aid Index number which is based on your income and assets.

College Selection

Use our college search tool to choose your list of schools based on your students academic and career goals. Ignore the sticker price or retail price because each school calculates your cost based on your SAI number.

The Cost Of Attendance is calculated by subtracting the retail price from your SAI number. Each school covers a different percentage of your financial need eligibility

Financial Positioning And Strategies

Reducing the cost of college is similar to tax strategies to reduce taxes. Through financial positioning you can reduce the cost of college without searching for private scholarships.

Step 1

Calculate Your SAI Number

Typically you won't know your Student Aid Index (SAI) number until you complete the financial aid forms in the fall of the Senior year in High School.

Which means you won't know how much college is going to cost until it's too late.

You can spend summer vacations visiting colleges but how do you know how much they are going to cost without knowing your SAI number?

Our software has an SAI calculator which will calculate your SAI number without needing to wait until the Senior year of High School.

Step 2

College Search

Filter and sort your schools based on your students academic and career goals.

Narrow your search by location, major, acceptance rate, college size, college type, and more.

Sort your search by which school offers your family the most money, graduation rate, cost of attendance, etc.

Search Tip: Ignore the retail price because some families can attend a top tier private school for less than the local state school based on your families SAI number.

Step 3

Your Out Of Pocket Cost

Your student could attend a top tier private school for less than an out of state public school. Or an out of state school for less than the in state school.

Each school covers a different percentage of your financial need eligibility.

Your "need" eligibility is calculated by taking the Retail Cost Of Attendance and subtracting if from your SAI number.

That is how your families financial aid eligibility is calculated. However, each school covers a different percentage of your need.

We pay $10k+ each year for the data from the schools to know how much each school will offer your family.

Now you can find schools based on academics, social, and financial fit!

Step 4

Financial Positioning

The biggest mistake families make is thinking they make "too much money" to qualify for financial aid.

The government and the schools don't want you to know that with what we call "financial positioning" we can lower your SAI number to increase your financial aid eligibility which mean more free money.

Similar to how a CPA can help you lower taxes, we can help you increase the free money for college and lower your out of pocket costs.
