Keep it clear when it comes to cost: Be transparent and clear about costs from the outset, providing detailed financial information early on in the process. ?? Give financial aid a fresh look: Reassess your financial aid offerings and dedicate resources to clarifying and explaining how and when to complete FAFSA forms. ???
