What factors contribute to the Student Aid Index? ?? It's a combination of the parents' adjusted gross income, the student's income, assets of both the parents and the student. Whether it's the FAFSA or the CSS Profile, they both work to generate a number that's typically high for the family. That's why understanding these factors and learning how to work around them is crucial. Our service at College Money Academy is here to help you pay less and make informed decisions.

关于我们
If you have high school aged kids and you plan on sending them to college, did you know that you absolutely do NOT have to pay full price? Ever! You see, college is a business. They sell a product (an education) and they have customers (students). And just like every other business, there is room to negotiate; therefore, there are three “secrets” that we must not forget: #1 - You must ignore the Cost Of Attendance (COA) - This is the number listed by every school as the “all-in” cost. You will NOT pay this price (that is, if you know how to inject ethical principles of negotiation into the college selection process.) #2 - The school will virtually always “lowball” a student. Why? Because they wait to see if you accept all the government money that is offered. Why should they put their money on the table first when the government will just literally hand it out to anybody to pay the bill? #3 - You can APPEAL their “low” financial aid offer. That's right, you can literally appeal their initial aid offer and if they want your kid, the only thing they can offer is money...it's shocking how good well this works. For me personally, when it was time to send my firstborn to college, it cost me $3,800 for a $27,000 university...the school we chose offered an additional $14,300 per year after we appealed. She had a 3.4 GPA, an ACT test score of 24 and she never played a varsity sport…basically, she was not some amazing student. But we focused on packaging her correctly and then getting her schools competing for her decision. Please parents, DO NOT FALL FOR THE IDEA THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY FULL PRICE. And worse, do not make the decision to send your kiddo to a lessor school because of the cost. This is why College Money Academy exists. We are the only online, self-paced program that teaches parents EXACTLY how to do this for themselves. Dig in, we'll prove it to you.

How is the Student Aid Index calculated? It all starts with the FAFSA—Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Anytime you see the word 'federal,' you know it's likely not in your best interest. ?? The FAFSA funnels all your financial info to come up with the family's expected contribution, and spoiler: it's usually not favorable. But don't worry, we teach strategies to maximize your benefits and make sure you don't end up paying full price for college.

What is the Student Aid Index? ?? It's the number the government calculates from your FAFSA to estimate how much they think you can afford for college each year.

One of the most common questions I get is: "How many colleges should my child apply to?" My answer? At least six, but ideally 8-10 schools. Why? Because if your child is an average or above-average student for several schools that are aggressive in offering financial aid, you give them multiple opportunities to get better financial aid offers. The problem many families face is that they focus too much on the one or two dream schools and forget to diversify their list. But by taking the time to research and apply to 8-10 schools, your child will have a greater chance of receiving the best financial aid offers. This is how you increase your odds of securing a deal that works financially! In today's video, I share the reasoning behind this strategy and why it's so important to set yourself up for success.

Today, I'm answering the big question: "Should I focus on colleges where my child's academic profile is above average?" The answer is a clear YES! But why? Because focusing on schools where your child is an above-average candidate can significantly increase your chances of receiving better financial aid. In this video, I show you how to leverage free resources like CollegeData.com to research schools that are the right fit academically and financially. Discover the average financial aid offers for both need-based and non-need-based aid at those schools. When you know your child is an above-average applicant for a school, you can expect better financial aid packages, not just the average offer. This is where strategy really pays off!

A common question I get asked is: "Should I only apply to in-state schools to save money?" And the answer is a resounding ABSOLUTELY NOT! If you've been following me, you know Rule #1: Ignore The Sticker Price! The listed Cost of Attendance (CoA) will NOT be what you actually pay, as long as you have the right strategy in place. In this video, I explain why sticking only to in-state schools could limit your options and prevent you from maximizing financial aid. If you don't have a strategy, you could end up paying way more than necessary. Want to learn how to reduce the cost of college and use strategies that work?
