FAFSA/CSS Profile Review & Corrections 

We make sure your FAFSA and CSS Profile are accurate and fully optimized before any appeal begins. We:

  • Review your FAFSA and CSS Profile line-by-line
  • Identify mistakes, inconsistencies, or missing information
  • Explain how even small errors can impact your award or weaken an appeal
  • Walk you through the exact corrections needed to strengthen your position

 

Financial Aid Award Review

We review your financial aid offers with you so you understand the complete picture and where the strongest appeal opportunities are. We:

  • Break down every grant, scholarship, loan, and out-of-pocket cost
  • Clarify what’s strong, what’s missing, and what stands out
  • Identify where schools may have room to improve their offer
  • Highlight the strongest opportunities for a successful appeal

Appeal Strategy & Full Support 

This is the heart of the package — and where families see the greatest impact.

We build a personalized appeal strategy and guide you through the entire process:

  • Determining whether the strongest approach is need-based, merit-based, or both
  • Identifying circumstances and details that strengthen your case
  • Drafting or refining your appeal letters
  • Preparing documents or completing forms the colleges request
  • Handling follow-up questions and any back-and-forth with the schools

We stay with you until each appeal is submitted and each school responds.

Unlimited appeal support for up to 3 schools.

Final Bill Review & Student Loan Guidance

We review your final bill and walk you through the smartest ways to use 529s, cash flow, and loans to cover the cost. We:

  • Show how to use 529s, cash flow, and loans strategically
  • Review all loan options, including little-known low-interest programs most parents never hear about
  • Explain smart ways to structure borrowing to reduce long-term interest
  • Clarify when (and when not) to consider private loans
  • Outline payment strategies that keep your family on solid financial footing

Many families save more from the loan guidance alone than the cost of the package!
