Understanding Financial Aid and Scholarships

Coming to terms with the incredibly high cost of going to college, and then understanding how much your family will be expected to pay are conversations we have have with families on a daily basis. 

Figuring out how to decrease this cost through scholarships, grants, and just choosing a cheaper college, are the critical first steps in making a list of colleges to apply to. There’s no point in trying to get into a college that is far outside your family’s budget. The tricky part is that the sticker price and what your family might actually be asked to pay can often be miles apart. We can help you figure out the real cost of each school on your college wish list.
