Frightening Financial Aid Mistakes Lurking
10% Off Financial Aid Consulting
It's the month of Halloween and this is for parents of class of 2026 "children of the night:"
You might feel like you're starring in your own horror movie!
You know how onscreen, when you watch the scared hero or heroine creep slowly in the dark, closer and closer to the threatening noise for some unknown, stupid reason...
...while EVERYONE in the theater screams warnings, because they all know the horrible fate she's about to suffer?
Thats the financial aid process, in a nutshell.
Here's a blunt warning for you:
Deadly landmines and ghoulish traps lay ahead, thanks to the overpriced, rip off colleges who want to suck every last dollar out of you like a thirsty vampire.
I know I'm getting carried away with this analogy, but, hey, it's directionally accurate.
You make one teensy weensy mistake on the FAFSA, CSS Profile, supplemental institutional forms, and you could BURY your chances of getting even a nickel of aid.
Then there's the afterlife, meaning, what happens post-filing.
Some colleges verify (think, "audit") 33%, 50% or even more of the applications filed. You'd better be prepared to answer their interrogations the right way, or your chances of getting the funds you need could be lower than a snowball's in H-E double hockey sticks.
One more thing, what do you do if your college SHAFTS you?
You can appeal or negotiate a lousy offer. But each college has its own particular protocol, and only a handful of arguments have a chance of succeeding.
Warning 2: We've heard horror stories of people actually losing their entire initial offer after they tried to negotiate for more. Rare but true.
