Completing financial aid applications is the first step in determining eligibility for financial aid, grants, and other tuition assistance from colleges, federal and state agencies, and some scholarship providers. This session will review the different applications, FAFSA and the CSS Profile, how they differ, and the impact of financial information reported on calculating a family's contribution.  Attendees will receive a 2024-2025 College Financing Worksheet to help with their individualized college financing strategies. Our presenter, Tom O’Hare, a frequent visitor to Roudenbush, will leave ample time for questions to ensure parents are ready to get their planning going.
