The Financial Aid Office is not a fast food drive thru. You cannot have it your way.
Many people have their own opinion of how a FAO should be operating. The purpose of the financial aid office is to disperse funding to qualified individuals within both government and that particular college's guidelines. Unfortunately, your opinion doesn't matter. Make sure that you carefully review the policy and procedure process for any college you may want to attend. It will give you an inside perspective as to how that particular FAO office operates. This can assist in dismissing any unrealistic expectations that you may have and help to you to be better informed.
The Financial Aid Office is run by ordinary people assign to do an extraordinary job.
The Financial Aid Office is not a confessional. They cannot forgive your past failures.
Many parents think that a sad story for a will give them an edge in getting financial aid. Unfortunately, you may have had a major setback but that doesn't necessarily mean that your situation will qualify you for "professional judgment". This is the discretion that a FAO may have to grant special funding in certain situations. Remember, they process thousands of applications and you are one among thousands. They have already heard every story under the sun. If you think you have a special circumstance that would merit a "professional judgment". Make sure you know the rules for special consideration before you state your case. The way you present your story can make a difference.
The Financial Aid Office has limits.
FAO can only award what is available from their sources. This is important to know because every college doesn't grant the same funding to every student. If a college has limited sources, their funding awards will be smaller than their counter part. Make sure that you know this long before filling out applications or making a commitment to any particular college.
Never agree to an award if you do not understand it.
After a college receives your package, the student will receive an award letter. Buyer Beware! It is very important that you review this document thoroughly especially the codes and symbols many colleges use to define their funding options. Ask questions if you don't know the answers. In most cases you can accept or reject any portion of the award that you desire.
As you can see, it's very easy to miss critical planning opportunities if you do not have sufficient knowledge to preplan. There are thousands of planning strategies that are missed by most parents. If you think that you might need a consultation' please fell free to call our office. One of our certified college planners would be delighted to answer your questions.

Jeffrey Taylor is known by many parents as Your Money Coach.
With over 20 years experience, he has helped many families plan for their children's college education.
Here are some valuable tips that he shares in his seminars:
Prepare yesterday! Waiting until today will cost you thousands of dollars.
Invest in your child's raw talent in their early years; this talent can be an effective tool to help reduce college tuition costs. A moderate ability student can get money from a college that has an interest in them; the more talent you child has, the more likely "free money" will be offered.
Choose the right school for the right reason. Colleges do a great job with marketing; they are a business seeking to make a profit. Don't let the hype fool you. Don't get caught up in the marching band or the best athletic team unless those are an important key to your selection process

on't be afraid, says your money coach, rest easy...all you need is a tuition reduction plan
Detroit, MI -- It is a fact that a college education is expensive and rising every year. Even at lower-priced, state colleges a four-year degree can still cost well above $50,000. "So what! Big deal!" says your money coach. "Rest easy! Rising tuition costs are not the real problem to funding the college education of your children's dreams," said Jeff Taylor in a recent interview.
Jeffrey Taylor is known to many parents as "Your Money Coach." He offers free online seminars, offering tips to parents financing their children's college education. "I attended his seminar and I wish this was available to me when I was paying for my daughter's education," said Mark Maupin of Right Now Marketing Group. "I'm amazed at Jeff's wealth of knowledge on tuition reduction strategies." College tuition and fees will probably continue to increase at an alarming rate. This startling fact has many parents afraid that they will not be able to fund both their retirement plan and rising college tuition costs.
In a recent survey conducted by the American Council on Education it was found that financing their children's college education is one of the top five concerns facing American parents today. "Although parents generally have good intentions, there is one main theme behind what really prevents parents from being prepared. That is the lack of preplanning," said Taylor. "Proper planning can make a world of difference. The other problem is parents just don't know what to do within a plan."
Jeff shared some valuable tips as he explained, "Your Money Coach maps out a comprehensive "Tuition Reduction Plan" relevant to a family's specific needs." Here are a few of the tips that were included in the pamphlets that Jeff handed out:
You must have a written plan of action as early as possible. If you don't have a written plan, parents will be in "Tuition Sticker Shock" and "Retirement Overload". That plan should be inclusive of all your financial goals. Make sure you account for an inflation factor that will give you an accurate cost of tuition for the time your children will be in college.
Make your child known to the colleges of interest as early as possible. Every student has "free money" opportunities relevant to their talent, achievement, and focus. Find out which schools are looking for that talent. Then market your student to those schools.
Never, ever sacrifice your retirement fund to pay college tuition costs. There are far too many options that are available; even to parents that start planning late in the game.
For questions specific to your own situation email Your Money Coach. He will generally respond within 24 hours. Jeff will explain terms that are confusing to parents, like scholarship, tuition, 529 plans, tuition tax credits, tuition reimbursements and more. You can also request his free report entitled" 5 Strategies to Rest Easy While Preparing for High College Expenses."

Southfield, MI -- Jeffrey Taylor is known by many parents as your money coach. With over 20 years experience, he has helped many families navigate the confusing and intimidating maze of preparing a student for higher education. In a recent interview, he explained how parents can reduce college tuition costs and finance their child's education long before their child graduates from high school.
Jeff said, "My phone rings on a regular basis with parents and their children with tears in their eyes trying to explain to me why they have no money for college. This is a common problem. What we need to understand is that preparing for college starts from the time a child is conceived in the womb not 3 weeks before high school graduation."
Jeff went on to explain, "As time progresses, there will be an increasing demand for higher education but fewer dollars to provide it. Those who prepare properly and early will have the advantage over those who procrastinate or just don't know what to do. If higher education is important to you and your family, it's critically important to start early and be fully informed of the college planning process."
