Summer To Do's

7/10/2020

During the summer months, there are so many things for both the parents and the children to do now. For our High School students, there is college prep and strategic financial/cost saving work. For those entering college and even in college, it is time to acquire student loans for Fall semester. And everyone may need credit repair work to help improve their credit score for student loan acquisition (and so much more!) Most importantly, though, is not to get consumed by the process.

For our High School parents, I want to invite you (and your friends and your children) to join myself and Eleanora Ferrante from Square Peg Square Hole Coaching this coming THURSDAY 7/16/20 @ 7:00PM live on Zoom.

We'll be discussing "The High School Senior's Summer To Do List!" (This is also great for families of rising Juniors who are looking to get a better understanding of the process!)

Essays, Applications, Financial Aid Forms
We'll discuss the steps you need to take now - from strategically creating the college list with an eye on merit scholarships to writing your essay. And, of course there will be time for a Q&A session!

Do You Have What You Need For Student Loans?

7/4/2020

It’s that time of year! Time to make sure that your child's student loans are in place before the fall semester begins. But, have you done all that you need to do before getting the loans?

Here’s a little primer to get you prepared…

Have you and your student submitted the FAFSA form? By submitting this form, your incoming Freshman will be entitled to $5,500 per year in Federal student loans. Since this loan is the least expensive, and it does not require a co-signor, it is a must if student loans will be necessary to pay for college. (Everyone who completes FAFSA is entitled to this loan, regardless of income or assets.)
Make sure that your child goes onto their college’s student portal and accepts any free money offered as well as the student loan offer.
Time to start gathering information. You will need the following pieces of information when applying for student loans whether federal or private.
