Financial Aid: How To Get Your Fair Share
(Seventh Edition Released August, 2006)
by CFP Peter V. Laurenzo (Author)
Introduction:
Most families lack the knowledge
that will ensure that their children will qualify for as much
financial aid as they are legally entitled to. This lack of
understanding is not only costly, but it often prohibits a
student from attending the school of choice. Financial aid is
not a gimmick, it is a system of rules, formulas, strategies and
compromises. If you don't understand the system, you will
inevitably pay more than the person who does.
It is evident that families lose thousands of dollars of
financial aid each year because they are uninformed or
misinformed about the financial aid process. Many families who
didn't qualify for any aid would have received aid with proper
planning. Do all families qualify for financial aid? Of course
not. There are many factors that determine how much a family is
entitled to receive. Do not assume ineligibility without first
investigating the facts!
Most families do not have adequate funds accumulated to pay for
a four year college education. There is an abundance of
statistical information illustrating how much you should be
saving on a monthly basis to accumulate the amount of money you
will need by the time your children reach college age. The
reality is that most people don't have the disposable income
available to accomplish this goal.
